About Henna Art Classes
Why Henna Feels Like Home
Henna is my therapy. When I hold a cone, it’s like the world slows down and I get lost in the flow. I started teaching because I want you to feel that same peace and joy, whether you’re doodling for fun or dreaming of becoming a pro.
Who Can Join?
Honestly, anyone. If you’ve never touched a henna cone, we’ll start bilkul basics se (from the very basics). If you already know a bit, I’ll show you how to take your designs up a notch with tricks I’ve learned over the years.
What We’ll Cover
- How to make henna paste at home and roll your own cones for that perfect flow
- The basics: lines, dots, humps, fillers - we’ll do drills till your hand feels steady
- Drawing lotuses, peacocks, elephants, swans - all my favourite motifs
- Exploring Indian mandala henna patterns and Arabic henna vine styles
- Adding Pichwai art touches for something different
- Designing for special moments - Karwachauth, baby showers, bridal mehendi techniques
- Telling stories with your art: names, figures, symbols, whatever means something to you
My Way of Teaching
I’m all about hands-on practice. We’ll use sheets, cones, and I’ll be right there guiding you. I want you to find your own style, not just copy mine. Let’s make some real henna magic together.

My Story
Hi, I'm Vinita! Mehendi is my happy place, my therapy, my everything. I get totally lost making intricate peacocks or a simple flower. I love being part of your big moments, like a bride seeing her hands or when ghar mein nanha mehmaan aane wala hai (a little one is on the way). Teaching henna is my other joy - art should be shared, na? For me, it’s all pure love for mehendi.
