Upcycled and Functional Art Workshops in Bangalore
I believe in giving everyday objects a second life. From plain white tees to forgotten glass bottles, let’s paint your world with sustainable, functional decor.
Why buy a graphic tee when you can paint your own? This video shows my process of painting a plain white t-shirt with fabric paints, turning it into a unique piece of wearable art.
Here, I'm using instant transfer sheets and paint to upcycle a simple wine glass into a beautiful floral decor piece. This decoupage technique is super easy and gives stunning results on any glass surface.
This is another way to decorate glassware. I painted this tropical sunset scene directly onto a wine glass, showing how you can turn a curved surface into your canvas.
A plain canvas tote bag is the perfect surface for a custom design. In this video, I'm painting a vibrant floral "Good Vibes" message, creating a stylish and personal accessory.
I love turning boring household items into art. This video shows me painting a botanical design on a plain lampshade, instantly adding a pop of color and personality to it.
This is the process of creating my hand-painted botanical lampshade. I start with a simple pencil sketch and then use one-stroke painting techniques to create these beautiful, blended flowers and leaves.
A perfect DIY project for the whole family. I used simple wooden planks and bright acrylic paints to create this personalized "Welcome to our Happy Place" nameplate. It's a fun way to add a cheerful touch to your home entrance.
About this collection
We don't just paint; we give new life to everyday objects using fabric paints, decoupage, and acrylics. Whether it's a botanical design on a lampshade or a personalized tote bag, I handle the prep work so you can just show up and create. You will learn specific techniques for curved surfaces and fabric application, and you will walk out with something that is actually useful, not just decorative.
Sustainability is at the heart of what I do. It is not just about canvas; it is about looking at a wine glass, an old T-shirt, or a wooden plank and seeing potential. In my functional art workshops across Bangalore, we dive into projects that you will actually use daily.
We start with the basics of surface preparation because painting on glass or fabric requires a different touch than canvas. I guide you through decoupage, using transfer sheets, and one-stroke botanical painting techniques to transform simple, store-bought items into statement decor. I provide all the supplies, including high-quality acrylics and sealants, so you do not need to worry about the setup or the cleanup.
From our studio in Harlur to our pop-ups at popular cafes like Dialogues, these sessions are designed for everyone, especially those who think they cannot paint. We skip the pressure of perfect art and focus on the joy of creating. You will learn how to treat fabrics so your designs are wash-proof, and how to varnish glass or wood for longevity. Come ready to get a little messy, thoda masti is always on the agenda.
