About Traditional Indian Art Workshops
Why I Do This
Art is for everyone. I’ve seen people walk in nervous, and leave with a smile and a painting they never thought they could make. My studio is a chill spot - you come in, forget about perfection, and just enjoy creating.
What You’ll Explore
I run workshops focused on traditional Indian art forms. You don’t need any art background - just curiosity.
- Kerala mural painting workshop: Start with a blank canvas, end with mythological figures and vibrant colours. There’s a deep-dive certificate course or a quick one-day session. Weekend batches too.
- Lippan art classes: Clay, mirrors, and a bit of mess. Make your own wall piece or nameplate. Full course or one-day intro.
- Warli tribal art retreat: Learn geometric tribal art in a rustic setting. It’s simple, but has its own charm.
- Pichwai painting and Madhubani sessions: Family-friendly, even for kids as young as 5.
How I Teach
I’m direct and hands-on. If your drawing’s off, I’ll say, “Gayab ho gaya?” (Has it disappeared?) or “Bada banao, chalo jaldi!” (Make it bigger, come on quick!). No stick figures allowed - I push you to try the real thing. It’s all with love, and no judgment.
What You Get
- All materials provided
- Step-by-step guidance
- Relaxed, creative vibe
- No experience needed
Just bring yourself. Everything else is sorted.
