Tell Me More
Throughout the day, not only will you be able to witness live pottery and glass bead making, you can even chat with all the artists to hear about their experiences and try your hand at their craft.
In case you’re keen on picking up a few one-of-a-kind products for your home, or as a gift for someone, products for sale begin at INR 200. If you do pick up something, rest assured it will be precious, because only studio based work is on display – that’s right, no factory based commercial products.
If you’re tired of the usual food options at Forum, don’t worry, Wabi Sabi will have a special food stall setup at this event.
