Workshops in Natural Building & Earthen Arts

Available across Navi Mumbai

Manvi Kenkre

I run small, hands-on workshops where you learn natural building and earthen art by working directly with soil and bamboo outdoors.

About

Why I Do This

I’m Manvi, and honestly, mitti se mera rishta toh bachpan se hi hai (my connection with soil has been there since childhood). These workshops are all about helping you feel that mitti (soil) magic again, especially if city life’s got you feeling disconnected.

What’s the Vibe?

Forget stiff lectures. We start with Mitti Meditation©️ - standing barefoot, breathing in the earth, tuning in. You’ll laugh, get messy, and maybe rediscover your lahanpan (inner child). Mixing cob with your feet is both a construction technique and a joy - somehow, stomping mud feels like therapy.

Small groups mean you actually get to know people: art lovers, sustainability folks, anyone curious. The energy is chill but focused. You share, learn, and create together.

What You’ll Do

  • Mud & Cob Workshops: Learn cob construction experience, from mixing soil and hay to shaping walls or unique DIY earthen sculpture class pieces. You’ll understand why natural building hands-on workshop methods just feel right.
  • Bamboo Basics: Get practical with bamboo - cut, slit, and build. Sustainable architecture with bamboo is less intimidating when you use your hands.

Who Joins?

If you’re into art, eco-friendly living, or just want a break from routine, you’ll fit right in. Ages 12+, but younger kids can join with an adult.

The Details

Sessions happen outdoors in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. It’s hands-on, messy and fun. Small batches (10 max), 2-4 hours, usually Saturdays. Sometimes, we share a simple lunch - mitti pehn ke, pet bhi bharta hai (after working with soil, we also fill our stomachs).

My Story

Hey, Manvi here - I lead Elite Design Architects. For me, mitti matters. Soil is home, you know? I started 'Mitti Matters' to help folks reconnect with nature. I just finished a course in natural building, and trust me, luxury and earth-friendliness can go hand-in-hand. Gudi Padwa in my new office was a proud moment. Every project, for me, is about spreading good vibes and making spaces that feel alive.
