Workshops on the wrap around stoles / scarves teach you how to make one and give you an idea about how one can use a variety of colours and other small add ons like beads, mirrors, thread, etc. There are many possibilities and you can unleash your creativity to create various colours and combinations.

Creative Workshop

Creative workshops or art and craft workshops are therapeutic sessions which help you rejuvenate by creating a wonderful handmade, self made item. They are a good way to use your time to learn something and destress at the same time. These workshops encourage good use of your free time and are a much better way of using your time rather than whiling it away on a digital device or munching away on unhealthy food and an experience beyond shopping!

There are many benefits of a creative workshop, you get to learn something new, take home a self made item, de-stress, chance to get back to your hobbies, break away from the mundane routine and last but not the least meet people and make new friends.

With all the work pressures and the break neck speed of life in big cities, we need a way to rejuvenate ourselves without putting in too much effort. Creative workshops are an ideal way, you just have to get yourself to the place, all the material is provided and prior experience is not required. Generally an artist or expert takes you through with step by step instructions. These sessions ideally last 2-3 hours and so are not hogging on your free time. The satisfaction you feel when you have created something, not expecting you were capable of, is not possible to describe. One has to through it to experience and understand the feeling.

General feedback from participants of creative workshops, is that they enjoy the session and can't believe they could actually make what they did. They feel far more relaxed and happy.

Workshops are conducted in cafes, malls, restaurants, clubs, housing societies, corporate offices, etc.

This is a great way for corporates to keep their employees happy, motivated and stress free. Workshops for corporates can be conducted on their premises or they can award their employees with entry tickets to workshops.

There are plenty of ideas for creative workshops. Local2do believes in promoting that which is specifically Indian and avoids the use of imported materials. Workshops generally revolve around an art and craft concept.
