About this collection
Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional stylist looking to expand your services, my masterclasses focus on the mechanics of the craft. We cover fabric behavior, secure locking techniques that hold for hours, and the precise art of pre-pleating. This is hands-on learning, where I teach you how to analyze the drape so you can achieve a flawless finish every single time.
Why Join My Draping Workshops?
Draping is not just about folding fabric; it is an engineering task. My workshops in Pune, Mumbai, and beyond are designed to bridge the gap between knowing how to wear a saree and knowing how to style a saree.
What We Cover:
- Fabric Science: Understanding how silk, chiffon, and cotton behave differently during draping and how to handle them.
- Technical Security: Mastering the internal locking techniques that keep heavy bridal sarees secure for over eight hours without constant readjustment.
- Heritage & Fusion: From the intricate 9-yard Maharashtrian Nauvari drape to modern fusion styles like the Fish-Cut and Infinity drape, we cover the full spectrum.
- Professional Pre-Pleating: Learn how to steam-set and box-fold sarees—a skill that significantly increases your efficiency if you plan on offering draping as a professional service.
The Learning Experience
My classes are strictly hands-on. I do not believe in just watching demonstrations. You will work on live models and mannequins, getting direct feedback on your pleat placement, tension, and shoulder fall. Whether you are an aspiring artist or just want to learn for personal elegance, you will leave with a clear understanding of balance and silhouette. Let’s build your skills together.
Draping Tejas
I'm Tejas. For me, draping is pure expression—it is about turning six yards of fabric into a story. I started my academy because I wanted to share this art and help you find that same joy in creating a perfect look.
