Synopsis

Discover the elegance of traditional Indian art in a hands-on workshop where you and your little ones can design your own pichwai tote bag! Rooted in the rich heritage of Nathdwara, pichwai is a 400-year-old style of painting known for its intricate motifs, vibrant colors, and devotional themes centered around Lord Krishna.

 

In this creative bonding session, participants learn to paint signature pichwai elements—such as lotus blooms—onto canvas tote bags. Guided by expert instruction, you will explore the techniques behind the art form while creating a beautiful, functional piece to take home.

 

Perfect for beginners and art enthusiasts alike, this workshop offers a relaxing and culturally enriching experience even kids can enjoy. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and love for art!

 

Each parent-child group can take up to three participants and will design one tote bag.
