Flower garlands workshop

Garlands used by women as hair adornments are known as gajrai and fragrant flowers like the jasmine are the most preferred as hair adornments. Indian weddings see a rich display of garlands of many flowers, and exchange of garlands between the bride and the groom marks the beginning of wedding festivities!

The teacher will explain the structure of flowers and right techniques to weave them into garlands. Although we use crepe flowers at the beginning of the workshop, the techniques remain the same when you will practice later using the fresh flowers. Once you learn the technique of garland weaving, you will be able to make a flower wreath to adorn your head, or even floral jewellery like bracelets and necklaces. You can also make multiple garlands and twine them differently to make decorations for your doors, windows and homes. As many of our students in the past have confirmed, garland weaving is spiritual and therapeutic. Come and experience garland making at our workshop and take a little bit of India back home.

First with crepe paper to make it easy then you will have a try with real buds to gain more dexterity.
