This weekend, Ahmedabad’s government-licensed artisans, Vishal Jayendra Bhavsar and Nishi Chirag Sheth, will conduct a Kutchi Lippan art workshop. “This is the first time we’re bringing it to Mumbai,” the duo reveals. In this session, the founders and principle artisans of Lippan Kutir explore the history and authenticity of this art form, and give participants a hands-on experience where they will each create a Kutchi Lippan art frame to take back home. “This art form was used by people who migrated from one place to another [commonly known as awara]. They would use Lippan to decorate their temporary huts,” Sheth suggests.
