Planned; workshop on Kolams - for dummies

French artist Chantal Jumel has been in India for many years, coming here to learn Kathakali in Kerala and going on to study local culture and traditions.
She has in recent years made Chennai her home for a few months December onwards, pursuing many interests - studying ritualistic designs like kolam-s and kalams and the designs that Jains make out of rice.

She has been documenting the Kolam Contests at the Festival and this year, wants to do her bit for the Fest - head a simple workshop on Kolams, meant for those who know little on it.

The workshop, for an hour and free will be held on Jan.11, Sunday, 2 pm onwards. We are looking for a venue - more soon!
