Feels like joy

Remember how as kids, we found happiness in the little things we created? Be it a scratchy mother's day card, a scribble that says best day ever, or the joy of making something of your own. Head to Vida Ceramic and Pottery Studio for a Ganesha-making workshop that will rekindle and help you rediscover those childhood emotions. Also, learn fun techniques such as sculpting idols, pinching, sgraffito, and wheel pottery.
On August 28, and every weekend till September end
