You don't need to be an 'artist' to walk in; you just need to be curious. We spend a few hours cutting through the conditioning that says art has to be perfect, focusing instead on the texture of reclaimed materials and the joy of creating something new from what was considered waste. At the core of these workshops is a simple philosophy: we are surrounded by materials that hold stories, even when we think they are just waste. Whether we are painting on old tote bags to reduce plastic usage, turning eggshells into microgreen planters, or weaving cassette tapes into wall murals, the goal is always the same—reconnecting with your creative self. I keep these sessions beginner-friendly. You won't find 'do not touch' signs or strict rules here. I provide all the supplies, including the reclaimed materials, so you can just show up and play. We explore sustainable art mediums that are accessible, from wine and coffee painting to fluid acrylic pours. These workshops are about more than just making a craft. They are a space to de-stress, meet like-minded people, and experience the meditative rhythm of making something with your hands. Whether you are looking for a weekend creative outlet in a cafe or a deeper, immersive experience, I’m here to guide you through the process of turning the discarded into the desired. ## About Madhuri Umashankar I’m Madhuri, and I believe creativity shouldn’t be bound by rules. I teach you how to see potential in discarded objects—making art that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your mind.
