HomeShakun Maheshwari -Henna Design Workshop
Shakun is a woman of Indian descent with a bright smile.

Shakun is a visual artist who works in many genres. She began her artistic life in her native India, learning traditional folk arts from her mother and aunties. With formal art training in graphic design, photography and various other mediums, she has enhanced her background and teaching methods. Shakun uses her folk art background to make connections with other cultures and is dedicated to teaching all students the creative process.

Learn how to create traditional Indian designs and use henna for body decoration.  Henna is a plant known for its reddish color and is used to decorate the body for special occasions such as Indian weddings and celebrations.  In impermanent art, creating the art is more important than the art itself.
