Well, every time I raided my mom’s kitchen for my dyeing experiments, she’d go, 'En madtidiya?' (What are you doing?). That stuck! My workshops are all about that same playful curiosity I had as a kid, climbing trees with my thatha (granddad). Making art, especially colouring, helps me unwind when life gets too much. I just want to share that joy and calm with others. ### My work - **Workshops for All Ages**: I run natural dyeing workshops, flower pounding art, block printing, handmade papermaking classes, and mindful nature play for kids, adults, families, and even office teams. - **Learn by Doing**: We get messy! You’ll use flowers, leaves, and old paper to create, not just watch or read. - **Nature is Our Classroom**: We’re mostly outdoors, using whatever nature gives. No fancy skills needed—just show up and try. - **A Mindful Escape**: Stressed or bored? These sessions are a slow, creative break from screens and routine.
