Master the technical art of draping with my hands-on workshops in Lalbaug. From pre-pleated saree folding to traditional Ganpati sovale, I teach the exact methods I use for my professional clients.

In this video, I explain my box folding and pre-pleating saree service. I also offer classes where I teach you how to take measurements and prepare these ready-to-wear sarees yourself, perfect for makeup artists or anyone who loves sarees.

This video shows a live draping class in session. My workshops are interactive and designed to give students the confidence to create flawless saree drapes for any occasion.

About this collection

You don't just watch me drape, you learn the actual technical process behind every fold. We break down the exact measurements for pre-pleated box folding so you can step into a perfectly pinned saree in under two minutes. Whether you are a makeup artist wanting to add draping to your portfolio or just someone who wants to look sorted at family weddings, my classes focus on getting the pleats sharp and the silhouette perfect every single time.

Practical Skills for Real Results

My workshops are designed to be hands-on and interactive. I believe that if you want to learn, you need to do the work yourself. We skip the theory and go straight into the technique.

What You Will Learn

  • Pre-Pleated Box Folding: Learn how to take accurate measurements for a custom fit. I teach you the trade secret of thermal steam ironing to set pleats so they last from the morning puja to the evening reception.
  • Saree Draping Techniques: From classic 6-yard drapes to traditional Nauvari, I show you how to handle different fabrics like silk and Paithani without damaging them with pins.
  • Ganpati & Devi Sovale Draping: This is my specialty. Learn the art of starch-stiffening to create those gravity-defying, fan-shaped pleats you see on public idols. I show you how to use fabric fillers to correct an idol's silhouette and how to secure heavy jewelry without damaging the paint finish.

Why Join My Workshop?

These classes are not just for professionals. Many of my students are women who simply want to get ready faster for family functions. By learning how to drape properly, you save time, look more polished, and stop relying on last-minute help. If you have ever struggled to get the pallu to stay put or spent too much time adjusting pleats, this is for you. We keep batches small so I can correct your hand movements individually. Join us at my Lalbaug studio to start your journey.
