About this collection
Whether you are painting a tote bag or a set of wood slice coasters, I guide you step-by-step so you walk out with something functional you can actually use. It is not just about the art, it is about bringing your personal vibe onto everyday objects. Honestly, seeing people carry their own hand-painted bags is my favorite part of the job.
Art should fit into your life, not just sit on a wall. At Studio B&B, I want to show you that a blank tote bag or a set of MDF coasters is just another canvas waiting for your narrative.
Why paint on utility items?
When you paint on a tote bag, you create wearable art. When you paint on coasters, you make a housewarming gift or a conversation starter for your own coffee table. We use high-quality acrylics that are durable and meant to be handled.
What to expect at the workshop
You do not need to be an expert to join. Most of my participants walk in saying, 'Main kabhi paint nahi kiya!' (I have never painted before!), and they leave with something beautiful. Here is what we usually cover:
- Tote Bags: Perfect for carrying groceries or your daily essentials. You get to design and paint the fabric, and I show you how to set the paint so it stays vibrant.
- Wood Slices & Coasters: These are rustic, charming, and great for learning fine details. Whether it is a beach scene or a floral pattern, these small formats are incredibly therapeutic.
- Small Group Focus: Because these sessions are intimate, I can help you with specific strokes or color blending, ensuring your piece turns out exactly how you imagined it.
Everything is provided—the brushes, the paints, and of course, the coffee. It is just you, your story, and a little bit of color. Rab Rakha!
