Since 2011, I've seen kids, teens, adults, and even 'mhaataara tarun' (old youngsters) dive into painting, sketching, and crafts with us. If you feel unsure about your skills, don't worry - I guide you step by step, and you’ll learn at your own pace. ### What You Can Try - Sketching, painting, and step-by-step drawing lessons using pencil, charcoal, watercolours, acrylics, oils, and soft pastels. - Live still life (sometimes we sketch vada pav!), portraits, landscapes, and abstract art. - Clay & pottery: Eco-friendly clay sculpture classes like Ganpati idol making with 'Shadu Mati' (organic clay), plus murals and 3D sculptures. - Mixed media craft sessions: Calligraphy, T-shirt & bag painting, collage, block printing. ### Who Can Join - Toddlers (from 4 years): Fun intro to colours and shapes. - Kids & teens: Build skills or just enjoy creative time. - Adults: Beginner art workshops for adults, or for anyone picking up a brush after years. - Senior citizen painting classes: Dedicated sessions for seniors to express themselves. ### How We Work I give personal attention, often saying, 'isko merge acchi tarah se karo' (merge this properly). We focus on learning with 'prem' and 'aatmiyata' (love and affection). You can showcase your work at our annual exhibition or join outdoor study tours to sketch nature live. If you want a relaxed, supportive space to explore art, you’ll fit right in. ## Highlights Browse through Grahin Art Institute's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/grahinartinstitute/hobby-art-classes-all-ages/featured) - [Video: I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can bring a canvas to life.

Art for me? It’s everything - passion, creativity, peace. Started this place in 2011, wanted anyone (literally anyone!) to feel the magic. Seen kids giggle about ‘garam’ colours, elders call themselves ‘Grahin ka ek varshaacha baal’ (a one-year-old baby of Grahin). We mess with shadu maati in Ganpati workshops, laugh at thin Bappa hands. It’s not just textbooks, it’s real expression, real community. That’s what keeps me going. ### My work - **All kinds of art, all kinds of people**: We teach Foundation, Hobby, Fine Arts Diploma, JJ entrance exam coaching, and art for toddlers, kids, seniors. - **Art for everyone, really**: Classes open to 4 to 70+ years, super friendly vibes, lots of love - no self-doubt here. - **Learning beyond textbooks**: Live sketching, outdoor study tours, pottery and shadu maati workshops. Find your style, not just copy. - **A creative community**: Join Grahin, join our family. Celebrate together - workshops, annual art exhibition, lots of color and canvas. ## More services from Grahin Art Institute - [Specialty Art Workshops & Events](https://mytribe.in/grahinartinstitute/specialty-art-workshops-events) · ₹300-500 per participant per workshop (estimate) - [Fine Arts Courses & Exam Preparation](https://mytribe.in/grahinartinstitute/fine-arts-courses-exam-preparation) · ₹2-12K per month (estimate) ## Book To book Grahin Art Institute, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Hobby%20Art%20Classes%20(All%20Ages)%20by%20Grahin%20Art%20Institute.)
