About Henna Art Classes
Why I Teach Henna
Mehndi is more than patterns for me - it's an emotion. Sharing this art, watching students find their own twist, brings me tumba happiness. Whether you want to doodle for fun or dream of becoming a pro, I love guiding every step.
Who Can Join?
If you’ve never touched a henna cone, or you want to master advanced bridal designs, these classes are for you. Doesn’t matter if your lines go zig-zag or your flowers look like chaklis (snacks) at first - what matters is you love mehndi and want to learn.
What You’ll Learn
- How to hold the cone and control pressure
- Beginner mehndi tutorials - lines, dots, simple flowers

- Advanced bridal henna techniques for hands and feet
- My personal favorite: Portrait henna workshops for creating faces, pets, or even deities

How We Learn
We start with paper, then move to practicing on each other. No boring lectures, just swalpa swalpa (little by little) progress in a friendly group. If you mess up, laugh it off - that’s the best part.
Learning henna takes patience, but the satisfaction? Next level. If you’re ready, I’m here to help you create your own mehndi magic.
