Details of the Program
The NSS Unit of Vishwakarma University participated in REकला – Lippan Art Workshop, a cultural and artistic initiative designed to revive and celebrate traditional Indian art practices. The
workshop focused on Lippan Art, a traditional mural art form originating from the Kutch region of Gujarat, known for its intricate mirror work and decorative patterns.
The session began with an introduction to the history, cultural significance, and evolution of Lippan Art. Participants were guided through the materials and techniques involved in creating
artwork using clay, mirrors, and decorative motifs. Under expert guidance, participants learned the process of designing patterns and applying artistic elements to create their own Lippan Art pieces.
The workshop provided an interactive learning environment where participants could experiment with traditional techniques while expressing their creativity. A total of 4 NSS Volunteers and 15
