Art does not belong on the wall and Madhubani art is a great way to connect with one of the most famous and traditional forms of Indian art. The beautiful and complex geometrical shapes and patterns seen in these paintings are often used to represent religious and festive rituals, using natural sources to create simple but timeless imagery that is truly inspirational.
What is Madhubani?
Madhubani paintings come from the Mithila region of Bihar in eastern India where it has been passed down through the generations. Women artists would create these paintings on the walls of their own homes, the pictures representing their inner worlds, thoughts and dreams.
There are five distinct artforms in Madhubani art: Tantrik, Kachni, Bharni, Godna and Kohbar. Up until the mid-20th century some of these styles were largely done by localised artists, but have more recently been merged together by contemporary artists.
What happens in the Madhubani workshop?
There are a number of different workshops available to enjoy, each one teaching you a new technique so you can experience the joys of Madhubani art.
Using the Madhubani style you will use contemporary colours via tools such as brushes, twigs, felt pens, matchsticks and your fingers. Objects can also be used to form a beautiful Madhubani painting which will also help create a contemporary twist to your art.
The focus will be on human figures, animals and nature, all created by free hand in the traditional Mudhubani style. This is a relaxing and highly expressive art form that allows you to connect with your inner self to create individual pieces that say something about you.
