Creative Workshops and Interactive Doodle Walls
My workshops are about letting go and rediscovering the joy of drawing. Whether it is a giant doodle wall for your event or a collaborative session for a group, we focus on the process, not perfection.
This is the heart of what I do. I set up doodle walls at events like the Bookaroo Children's Literature Festival to create a space for pure, playful creativity. Watching kids and adults alike fill a blank wall with their imagination, without any fear of making mistakes, is an incredibly rewarding experience.
About Creative Workshops & Doodle Walls
When I set up a doodle wall, the goal isn't to create gallery-ready art. It’s to break that initial fear of the blank page. Whether you are hosting a corporate event or a family gathering, my only real requirement is a flat surface—a wall, a flex board, or a large canvas mount—that we can turn into a temporary playground. I bring the professional-grade markers and the prompts, you bring the people, and together we’ll fill that space with raw, honest lines.
Art should not be intimidating. That is the core philosophy behind every creative workshop I run. Too often, people stop drawing because they are worried about making a mistake or creating something that looks 'wrong'. My sessions are designed to dismantle that pressure.
How We Work Together
Whether I am working with a group of 15 or 30 participants, the session is led personally by me. We usually spend about 2 to 3 hours together. We start with simple ice-breaking exercises that remove the fear of the pen, moving into storytelling and collaborative mark-making. You do not need to be an artist to join; you just need to be curious.
The Doodle Wall Experience
If you are planning a conference, a school festival, or a corporate team-building day in Mumbai, a doodle wall is a way to make the space feel alive. Participants contribute to a shared masterpiece, turning individual marks into a collective story. I provide the professional-grade Posca markers and pencils, while you handle the surface—a simple wall or flex board is enough.
Why Choose This Approach?
My background as an illustrator and designer helps me guide the flow, but the real magic comes from the participants. I have seen how these walls change the energy of an event, turning a sterile space into something warm and communal. If you are looking to bring a bit of analog, hands-on creativity into your next gathering, let's talk about the theme and how we can make it happen. I typically need 3 to 4 days to finalize the theme for a session, ensuring the prompts I bring are right for your group.
Shirish Ghatge
I am Shirish, and I believe drawing is for everyone, not just those who think they have 'the talent.' After years of working as a professional illustrator, I realized the most joy comes from simply making marks on paper with other people. I’m here to help you turn your next event into a collaborative space where mistakes are celebrated, not hidden.
