About Weaving & Printmaking Workshops
Why I Do This
Art, for me, is about slowing down and letting your hands do the talking. I started these workshops because I wanted a space where people could just breathe, make a mess, and find a little calm in the chaos. It’s not about perfection - it’s about the process.
What Happens Here
I run two hands-on workshops - one for frame loom weaving and one for linocut printmaking. Both are beginner-friendly and designed for anyone who wants a break from the usual scroll-scroll-scroll. You don’t need any experience, just a bit of curiosity.
- Mindful weaving sessions: Learn the basics of frame loom weaving, set up your own loom, and try out three different stitches. You’ll walk away with something you made - maybe a mini tapestry, wall hanging, or coasters.
- Linocut art experience: Get into the raw, earthy side of printmaking. Sketch, carve, ink, and print your own design. You’ll leave with a hand-carved stamp that’s totally yours, perfect for wall art, cards, or even fabric.
What to Expect
- All materials provided - colorful yarns, looms, lino blocks, carving tools, everything.
- Chill, supportive vibe. No pressure to be perfect.
- Usually hosted at cute cafes around Mumbai, sometimes with a free chai or coffee thrown in.
- Sessions are small, so you actually get to ask questions and get help.
If you want to try something new, get your hands moving, and maybe surprise yourself, just show up. That’s all you need.

My Story
Hey, I’m Garima. Clay’s my way to slow the world down, hands deep in mud, making sense of things. Sometimes feels odd, making art when life’s wild, but it’s how I steady myself. Nature’s everywhere in my work—like that leaf I dragged home, now a platter with veins and stories. I chase old crafts, weaving, linocut, wrapping pebbles, all for the quiet magic. Imperfections? I love them. That’s where the story sits.
My Work
Pottery & Craft Workshops - I run handbuilding pottery, storytelling with clay, sgraffito plate making, frame loom weaving, linocut printmaking, and clay date sessions.
Beginner Friendly, All Ages - No skill needed. Anyone can join—kids, friends, families, or teams. Just come ready to get your hands messy.
Relaxed, Cozy Vibe - Think screens off, muddy hands, full hearts. It’s slow, meditative, and all about enjoying the process.
Learn Real Techniques - I teach pinching, coiling, slab rolling, carving, sgraffito, plus glazing and firing. You’ll make something useful, not just pretty.
Creative Escape & Memories - My workshops are for celebrating, unwinding, or just making memories. A hands-on, joy-filled break from the rush.
