Hands-On Creative Workshops for Kids
Kids learn best when they get messy. At my Jakkur studio, we trade boring lectures for real-world projects like comic making, pottery, and creative writing.

About Hands-On Creative Workshops
Forget sitting still for hours. In our workshops, kids are building stomp rockets, moulding clay miniatures of Panchatantra characters, or sketching their own comic strips. Whether it is an intensive two-day comic course or a weekend story-play session, we provide all the materials, from glue guns to professional art supplies. Just bring their imagination and be prepared for some paint on their clothes.
Our studio in Jakkur is designed to be a sandbox for ideas. I believe that every child has a story to tell, and sometimes they just need the right tools and a little guidance to get it out.
We collaborate with industry experts like comic book artists from Hallubol or authors like Reshma Joel to bring professional skills to a kid-friendly level.
What we actually do:
- Comic Making: Kids learn character design, plotting, and storytelling. They leave with a comic they built from scratch.
- Art & Pottery: We move beyond basic crafts. Children use red clay, wires, and paints to build tangible 3D pieces, like our popular Panchatantra-inspired miniatures.
- Skill Mastery: For those ready for more, our certification workshops cover deep dives into story writing and theatre.
Everything happens in small batches, usually capped at 10 to 15 kids, so I can ensure everyone gets individual attention. We are not a school, and there are no exams here. We are a space for messy hands, giggles, and the occasional breakthrough where a child realizes they can create something from nothing.
