Workshops from 1pm to 6pm.
Weave your way to the family focused picnic area and workshop tent where you will find space to relax and take part in Alpona art workshops led by Maraz Ahmed, Hamja Ahsan, Fuad Ali and Riffat Ahmed.
Traditionally Bengali Alpona designs are drawn with the help of rice-powder, diluted rice paste, powdered colours (produced from dried leaves), charcoal, burnt earth, etc. Today paints and brush are used as a normal medium for Alpona. Alpona art is used to decorate homes, venues and temples for celebrations and to bring colour to all occasions.
Come and try your hand at this tradition art form and contribute to the live art canvas!
Location: near Derbyshire Street and Gate 0.
