About the Workshop:

Kolams are intricate drawings created using rice flour, traditionally made by women in South India each morning at the thresholds of their homes. More than decoration, kolams are a daily ritual and an auspicious gesture. These designs often start with a matrix of dots, around which looping lines form mathematically complex patterns.

This two-part workshop, taught by Aarati Akkapeddi, begins with a discussion of the history of kolams and an introduction to a system they've developed for translating text into kolam patterns, which they apply to create prints using custom 3D-printed "legos". Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to create their own simple visual translation systems and in the second session, they will learn about the tools that can be used to create custom legos for printmaking. We’ll then use the custom kolam "legos" to hand-print our own designs, so that participants will leave with their own printed kolams!


Required Materials:

  • Drawing utensils
  • Notebook o paper for note-taking
  • Optional: Laptop

Perfect Stylish Comfy Queen Size Pillows
Size: Queen - 20"*30" (pack of 2), Color: Grey
These two pillows replaced some very old pillows. They are perfect size for my son’s double bed. They come rolled up and when I removed the plastic they puffed right up to their puffy pillowy size. They are extremely comfortable and my son loves them. They are a down alternative and work perfect for him as he is a stomach sleeper. They have just the right support for a restful nights sleep. They have a nice stylish look 👀. They keep their fluffiness even after sleeping on them overnight. They can be washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low heat. They are the perfect pillows for our family. Extremely happy with our purchase. I highly recommend them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
