About Handwriting & Calligraphy Workshops
Why I Teach
I love seeing people discover their own style. For me, teaching handwriting and calligraphy is not just about neat letters - it’s about helping you feel confident and calm. My students call me their guru, and honestly, I take that seriously. This is more than a class, it’s a way to switch off the world and focus on yourself. Fatafat! (quickly!) you’ll see how relaxing it can be.
What You Can Learn
- Handwriting improvement for adults and kids: If your writing is messy or slow, I’ll help you fix that. We start with basics, work on neatness, speed, and even add positive affirmations for kids. It’s practical and feels good when you see the change.
- Modern brush calligraphy class: Super creative and beginner-friendly. You’ll learn brush pen techniques, color blending, and make your own bookmarks or greeting cards. It’s my most popular workshop for a reason.
- Copperplate script workshop: For those who love classic, elegant writing. We use dip pens and ink, and I’ll show you how to get that timeless look for special notes.
- Personalized glass engraving: Want to try something different? I teach you how to engrave names and designs on glass bottles and jars. It’s unique and makes great gifts.
How I Work
Whether you join me in Mumbai or online, I’m there for every question. I break things down step by step, so you never feel lost. Sirf trust karna hai (just trust) the process. I’ve seen students go from nervous to confident, and some even become teachers themselves. If you’re ready, I’m here to guide you. Sab kuch samjha? (Understood everything?)
