Join us for an enchanting workshop on Mata ni Pachedi, a centuries-old art form deeply rooted in the culture of Gujarat. Often referred to as the "Kalamkari of Gujarat," Mata ni Pachedi is a sacred textile painting created as a tribute to the divine mother goddess. Traditionally crafted on fabric, this workshop, led by an expert, offers a unique twist as we bring this revered art form to life on paper! Unlike conventional workshops, this session takes place in the relaxed and welcoming ambiance of a home studio. With limited participants, the setting ensures plenty of one-on-one interaction with the instructor. You’ll feel like part of a creative family, sharing inspiration and exchanging ideas while diving deep into this beautiful art form. Why Mata Ni Pachedi? Mata Ni Pachedi, meaning “behind the goddess,” is a sacred textile art form from Gujarat. Traditionally created as a shrine for worship, it features intricate hand-painted depictions of deities, especially the Mother Goddess, in bold, earthy colors. This art blends devotion with craftsmanship, preserving centuries of cultural heritage. Practicing Mata Ni Pachedi is a soulful experience, connecting you with divine stories while exploring the beauty of traditional Indian artistry. Perfect for those seeking creativity and spiritual enrichment.
