Sunanda Sahay of  Color of India will be here to teach us  how to create Lippan Mud-Mirror art.  This traditional art form originates in Gujraat,  one of the Western states of India.  Like many other folk and traditional art forms, mud-mirror art has recently garnered attention for its intricate patterns and aesthetic perfection.  In this workshop,   participants will use acrylic paint to create a background that they will overlay with a mirror and mud design.  This workshop is for those in Grades 6-12.
