many more. She was trained in Canada, USA, Australia, UK, Singapore and

She has been teaching arts and crafts for the last 19 years and
has taught around 18,000 students so far. She has also published nine
books in different embroidery techniques and all her books including her
latest "Huck Embroidery" will be available at the exhibition. She has
been giving lessons on Rupavahini, Swarnavahini, ITN, Sirasa and Derana.
There will be tablecloths, wall hangings, cushion covers, bed covers
and other items in different Embroidery techniques and each item would
be unique as all the designs are drawn by Mrs. Gamage. She teaches her
students to do their own creations using different colour schemes as she
