Traditional Art Workshop
Participants explore the ancient Indian art of Rangoli by creating colourful patterns using coloured powders, flowers, natural materials and reusable, environmentally conscious resources.
Henna art is the temporary decoration on skin using natural plant-based paste to create beautiful traditional cultural patterns and designs.
The workshop combines creativity, mindfulness and cultural storytelling. Participants learn about the meaning of Rangoli, its connection to Indian festivals and the importance of welcoming, gratitude and community.
