Artist Harinath N.

Harinath N. is a highly accomplished State Award winning artist from the mesmerising town of Srikalahasti. His artistic journey spans over 35 years, and has mastered the intricacies of this ancient art form. He is renowned for his unique depiction of the scenes from the Indian epics, and the Tree of Life stories.

Steps we will follow in this workshop:

Kalamkari is an intricate form, with as many as 23 steps from processing of the cloth to the finished painting. Since it is not possible to complete a Kalamkari painting in one day, we will be learning the process of using Kalam and completing the black outline during the workshop. The artist will explain the other steps such as washing and boiling during the workshop, but will not be demonstrated. All materials required for the workshop will be provided by us.
