Purnakala School of Indian Art is delighted to bring in-person traditional Indian art workshops to the Seattle community! Join us for a series of monthly workshops, each showcasing an iconic art form from India. In each workshop you will create a "masterpiece" to take home while learning tips and tricks specific to the art forms and mediums used. In the first module, from Sept 2025 to Jan 2026, we will be exploring Classical Painting Traditions of Southern India.

January 2026: Kalamkari Painting Workshop
In January, come learn about Kalamkari painting, a traditional textile art form from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
In this workshop, we will delve into the traditional process of creating Kalamkari on textiles and learn how to thoughtfully translate it onto canvas using modern mediums. We will discuss the two distinctive styles of Kalamkari—Sreekalahasti and Machilipatnam—understand their unique motifs and draw inspiration from both to create a harmonious Kalamkari composition.
Create and take home a beautiful painting of Annapakshi (8 × 10-inch, acrylic on canvas).
See you in class!
