About Art & Craft Classes
Why Art Feels Different Here
Since 2015, I’ve been running Hema’s Hues Academy with one simple idea - art should make you happy. Hum small business owners hain (We are small business owners), so you’re not just a roll number to me. Hum tumhe tumhare naam, tumhari pehchaan, tumhari kahaniyon se jaante hain (We know you by your name, your identity, your stories). My classes are more about chilling, making mistakes, and finding your own style.
What You Can Try
- Drawing & Sketching: Pencil, charcoal, pastels, crayons, portraits, still life, memory drawing.
- Painting: Acrylic, watercolour, oil, poster colors. Palette knife painting techniques, soft pastel art, and Indian folk art workshops like Tanjore, Madhubani, Warli. Adults can join dedicated online batches for Tanjore art.
- Crafts: Clay modelling for kids and adults (magnets, eco-friendly Ganesha idols), Lippan art, dot mandala, decoupage, tie & dye, pebble art, resin art.
- Handwriting & Calligraphy: Creative handwriting improvement in English and Hindi.
Who Can Join
- Kids (from 3.5 years), adults, beginners, pros - all are welcome.
- Small batches, so you get real attention.
How You Can Learn
- Online art classes for adults and kids, or in-person at Prabhadevi, Powai, Thane (West).

My Story
Namaste, I’m Hema. Creative Hands, Happy Hearts - that’s my jam since 2015. Hum small business waale hain, tumhara naam yaad rehta hai, order number bhool jaate hain (I remember your name, forget the order number). Kids, seniors, everyone brings their own kahani (story) to my classes. Watching someone paint their first canvas or wear a hand-painted saree, bas, that’s the magic. My academy is all about confidence, friendship, and making art feel like ghar (home).
