About Hands-On Fun: Creative Crafts
When you come to one of my workshops, don't worry about being perfect. I keep my batch sizes small—usually between 4 to 8 people—so I can sit with you and personally help with those tricky clay folds or mandala dots. Whether you're 4 or 84, the goal is for you to walk out with your own finished project, not just a lesson learned.
At Hema's Hues Academy, we focus on the process, not just the product. We believe that art is a fantastic way to disconnect from digital screens and reconnect with your own creativity.
What we do in our craft sessions
We run workshops across my Mumbai studios in Prabhadevi, Powai, and Thane. These aren't your typical sit-and-watch lectures. We dive right into the tactile stuff:
- Clay Modelling: From making eco-friendly Ganesha idols to clay magnets, you'll learn to shape, dry, and paint your own 3D creations.
- Dot Mandala & Decoupage: We explore precision and patience through dot mandala art on candle holders, and we use decoupage techniques to breathe new life into everyday objects.
- Lippan Art: You’ll get to try this traditional Kutch mud and mirror work, adding that beautiful, rustic texture to your home decor.
- Tie & Dye: A favourite for summer camps and weekend sessions, where you'll experiment with patterns on cotton fabrics.
Why join a workshop?
I’ve been teaching since 2015, and the biggest thing I've learned is that everyone has a story to tell through art. You don't need to be an expert to join. Our classes are designed for beginners who want to try something new, as well as for those looking to refine their skills in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. All materials are included, so you just need to bring yourself and your curiosity.
A note on our community
We aren't just a classroom; we are an art family. Many students start with a one-day workshop and end up joining our regular weekly batches. If you are looking for a weekend activity, a creative birthday party idea, or just a way to de-stress, come by the studio. Let’s make something beautiful together.
Hema's Hues Academy
I’m Hema, and I believe art should make you happy, not stressed. Since 2015, I've been turning my studio into a space where kids and adults alike can make a mess and find their creative spark. You won't find any 'roll numbers' here—just art, laughter, and a friendly community.
