Our Story: 11 Years of Art and Messy Hands
It started with one simple birthday party and a glue gun. Here is the story behind the messy hands, happy hearts, and over a decade of creative memories we have built in Mumbai.
This is how it all started. A spark ignited in me when I organized an art party for my son's 5th birthday. Looking back at these old photos fills my heart with so much joy and gratitude for this incredible journey.
About My Story
When I started, I did not plan for a business. I just wanted my son to have a birthday where kids could focus on making things rather than winning prizes. Those first parties were chaotic, but they taught me that when you take the competition out of art, kids truly learn to enjoy the process. That is the philosophy I still bring to every workshop across Mumbai today.
Back in 2013, I was a nervous mom throwing a small art party for my son’s 5th birthday. I had no idea that paint, paper, and a bit of glitter would spark a journey that would last over a decade. That first day was loud, messy, and filled with genuine laughter, and I realized that children crave a space where they can be themselves without a screen in front of them.
Why No Competition?
In a world where everyone wants to be the best, I decided my workshops would be different. There are no winners or losers here. Whether we are painting canvases or molding clay, the goal is for every child to slow down and create something they are proud of. If a child wants to paint their tree purple instead of green, that is exactly what they should do.
Bringing the Studio to You
Over the years, I moved from hosting parties at home to bringing the setup directly to your doorstep. I handle all the messy parts, from the aprons and table covers to the final cleanup. My work now spans festivals like Diwali, Christmas, and Holi, but the core remains the same: I want to help you create a space for your kids that is about fun, memories, and mindful art playdates. We have grown into a community of families who value creativity over perfection, and I am grateful for every single person who has been part of this canvas.
