WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Student Reviews

★★★★★

Kalamkari was always on my art bucket list and this class delivered everything I hoped for. The peacock session alone was worth it.

★★★★★

I had no background in folk art but the structured progression made every session feel achievable. By session 4, drawing mythological figures felt natural rather than intimidating. Rajni's approach to detailing and composition is patient and systematic, which is exactly what Kalamkari requires.

★★★★★

I joined expecting a craft class and came away with a genuine understanding of why Kalamkari is considered one of India's great storytelling arts. The curriculum moves thoughtfully from borders and fillers to complete mythological narratives, and by the final session you realise how much your hand control and compositional thinking have improved. The one-on-one format meant Rajni could correct my line work in real time, which made a visible difference to the quality of my final artwork. I have already gifted one of my pieces from the course and it has been admired by everyone who has seen it.
