Reconnect with nature through hands-on cob and bamboo workshops. Join me in Vashi for a Saturday of getting messy, learning sustainable techniques, and finding your inner peace with mitti.

This is the feeling we aim for. A moment to let go, connect with your inner child, and find pure joy in the simple act of mixing mitti with your feet. It’s not just building, it’s therapy.

See what's possible with just mitti and your hands. This video shows the creation of an Adiyogi bust, demonstrating the level of artistry you can achieve with the natural cob techniques I teach.

Beyond mud, we also explore the strength and beauty of bamboo. In my Bamboo Basics workshop, you get hands-on experience cutting, slitting, and constructing with this incredible sustainable material.

I'm Manvi, and this is why I started Mitti Matters. In this short video, I answer the most common questions about why we do this, what happens in a workshop, and how you can join our community.

Every workshop begins with my signature Mitti Meditation. We start by standing barefoot on the earth, grounding our energy and setting our intention before we begin to create together.

A glimpse into a typical workshop day. Here you can see participants learning to build naturally, getting their hands dirty, and working together to create something beautiful and sustainable.

The vibe is all about creativity and fun. From expressive masks to animal figures, everyone leaves with a unique earthen sculpture and a smile.

About Featured

These sessions are not about stiff lectures; they are sensory experiences. We start every Saturday workshop with Mitti Meditation to ground ourselves before we dive into foot-stomping mud or working with raw bamboo. You will spend 3-4 hours getting hands-on, learning the basics of natural construction, and leaving with a unique sculpture you created yourself—plus, we keep things social with a simple, shared vegetarian lunch.

Hi, I'm Manvi. I started Mitti Matters because I realized how disconnected our urban lives have become from the earth. I blend my architectural background with these hands-on workshops so you can get creative, feel grounded, and build something beautiful with your own hands.

Here are two of my favorite upcycled creations side by side. The hanging lamp is made from a cane basket I found at a local Bangalore market, decorated with tassels. Next to it is a custom artwork I made using leftover wallpaper and IKEA frames to cleverly hide my home's MCB board.

Here is a participant completely absorbed in her work, finding a quiet focus as she weaves. My workshops are all about this feeling of mindful creation, where the process is just as important as the finished piece. No experience is needed, just a willingness to try.
This is where the magic of printmaking begins. I guide you through the tactile process of carving your own design into a linoleum block. You'll learn how to use the carving tools to carefully remove the negative space, leaving your unique image ready for ink.
Linocut printmaking is a wonderfully accessible art form for beginners. Because the technique allows for bold, graphic designs, you can create stunning patterns and images. Once your block is carved, you can print it again and again on paper, cards, or even fabric.
