My Story
Folks ask, 'Why Pencil & Chai?' and we grin. Started in 2011, before outdoor art classes were cool in Bangalore. Our first lessons? Not fancy studios - just open sky, sketchbooks, chai, and artists who knew their stuff. Chai in one hand, pencil in the other. That vibe stuck. Now, we’ve got a studio, a Gurukul, but the heart’s the same. We’re here to keep Indian folk arts like Chittaara and Kalamkari alive. Step in, and you join our story.
