I teach my students how to roll and seal their own henna cones. We provide all the materials you need for the class.

A tip for beginners: I show the weighing machines I use for measuring henna powder accurately. Getting the henna mixology right is a crucial part of our one-day workshop and full course.

Students practicing intricate motifs and patterns on their sketchbooks. This paper practice is essential for mastering the details before moving to hands.

The struggle is real, but so is the progress! A student shows her practice sheet filled with dozens of motifs, showing the dedication it takes to perfect each element.

First experience after 30 days! It can be nerve-wracking to apply mehendi on a hand for the first time, but my students are excited to take this big step.
