Purnakala School of Indian Art presents Art for All Workshops
Purnakala is happy to bring traditional Indian Painting workshops to the Seattle community!
Narrative Scroll Paintings of India
This module explores India’s rich traditions of narrative scroll painting, where stories are composed through sequential imagery, rhythmic pattern, and symbolic visual language. Participants will create hand-painted cloth panels while learning how different textile supports can be prepared and adapted into finished artworks using contemporary materials.
June Workshop: Phad Painting
Phad painting is a rich narrative art form from Rajasthan, traditionally used to depict epic tales on long cloth scrolls. In this workshop, you will explore its distinctive style—bold compositions, symbolic figures, and intricate decorative patterns—while creating a piece that captures the essence of this storytelling tradition.
Create and take home a beautiful 9 × 12 inch painting on a cotton canvas panel, designed to add a vibrant pop of color to your wall.
We will be ending this academic year or Art For All workshops with a closing celebration.
