Vegetable Dying Workshop _ Ahmedabad

I would like to share a photo-documentation of one of our Vegetable Dying Workshops conducted by my daughter Praveena Soni and myself.

Apart from knowledge, techniques and how-to-do guidance from teachers, it takes both students and teachers to make any workshop successful and a memorable experience of learning-s... such as this one!

Our students for this batch were: Pinky, Aan, Neha, Rita, Naitree (youngest of our students) and my friend Pankaj Patel- a visiting faculty of design & a professional himself who joined us for the workshop. Pankaj added some noteworthy value to experience for our students by triggering questions and brainstorming. I thank him for helping us photo-document this workshop as well.
