Paper Jewellery

or
Paint Textures
(This activity will only be possible once we get clearance from the British Council as it requires use of colors)
We will be teaching the participants a few paint textures and techniques like crumpling, using rollers, sponges, stenciling, comb effects, wax effects, etc

Bookmark Construction
Bookmarks are simple to make and are perfect gifts. We teach you a variety of styles using varied  raw material.

Paper Quilling Technique
We provide quilling tools to make a variety of items using the quilling technique like cards, tags, etc.

· Each participant gets a craft kit containing paper and relevant raw material. We provide you with kits so that you can spend more time on the activities. For example: we even thread the needle to save time. At the end of the session participants can take what they make along with the leftover material.
· Participants do not need to get anything with them. We provide all instruments and stationery like colour pencils, tools, cutting mats, blades, crayons, felt pens, glue, scissors, etc. These have to be returned.
