Drape Workshop

Curious about sarees? Always wanted to learn how to drape one? Or already wear sarees and would like to pick up a few tips and techniques?

Join Berkeley Saree Club for a hands-on introduction to the saree and the art of draping.

We'll begin with a short introduction to sarees, followed by live draping demonstrations. Then it’s your turn! Participants will have time to practice draping with guidance from our volunteers.

What to expect

• A short introduction to sarees and draping
• Live draping demonstrations
• Hands-on practice for beginners
• Tips and techniques for more experienced saree wearers

What to bring

• If you have a saree you'd like to practice with, bring it!
• Please wear or bring a saree petticoat (underskirt) if you'd like to participate in the hands-on draping session. A fitted, full-length skirt that you can comfortably tuck fabric into can also work.
• We will have a limited number of sarees and petticoats available to borrow during the workshop.

No previous saree-draping experience is needed.

This is a free community workshop, but space is limited. Please register only if you plan to attend.

All are welcome — come discover the possibilities of six yards of unstitched fabric.
