In my classes, we actually sit on the floor, mix our own natural henna paste from scratch, and practice cone pressure until your lines flow perfectly. You don't need fancy tools to start, just dedication and a willingness to learn the right technique from the ground up. I started teaching because I believe mehndi is a skill that anyone can learn if they have the right guidance. My 'Mastering the Basics' course is specifically designed for those who want to build a strong foundation before jumping into complex bridal work. We avoid shortcuts; instead, we focus on the manual work that makes an artist truly skilled. ### What we cover in class: * **Paste Preparation:** You will learn how to make your own DIY henna paste using natural ingredients, so you never have to rely on store-bought chemical cones. * **Control & Flow:** We dedicate hours to cone control—rolling, sealing, and managing pressure—to ensure your lines are crisp and consistent. * **Design Fundamentals:** We drill the basics, from simple lines and borders to filling patterns, paisleys, and mandalas. We conduct these classes at my studio in Ghatkopar West (Amrut Nagar) and near Chembur. The atmosphere is always collaborative, with plenty of hands-on practice. Whether you are a college student or a working professional, I offer flexible batches, including evening sessions, to suit your schedule. By the end of this module, you won't just know how to draw; you'll understand the art of henna application properly. ## About Priya Naik Hi guys, I'm Priya. For me, mehndi is more than just a job—it's my ishq (love). I started teaching because I want every girl to feel confident with a cone in her hand, so let's learn this art together, step by step.
