A Hand Crafted Gaatha

Tanisha is the founder and maker behind A Handcrafted Gaatha. She works primarily with crochet, creating handmade pieces using yarn and simple tools. She began crocheting a little over two years ago, teaching herself through online videos during a period of health challenges that required her to slow down. What started as a way to cope and stay occupied gradually grew into a small, independent brand rooted in handmade practice and personal care. Today, Tanisha designs and creates her own crochet pieces and also works closely with women artisans, many of whom are homemakers or have stepped away from formal work due to health or family responsibilities. Each piece is made entirely by hand, with timelines varying based on size and detail, from small accessories to more layered designs. She does not follow trends or fixed production speeds, choosing instead to make work she personally connects with. The focus of her practice is on thoughtful making, shared skills, and creating objects that carry time, effort, and individual rhythm.
