The workshop will provide participants with hands-on experience in making Lac Dolls and provide a space for discussion on the cultural significance and craftsmanship behind this dying folk art form of Bengal. 

Lac Dolls are a unique traditional art form with a very deep impression on the Indian culture. These dolls have a typical structural formation and were traditionally used for the purpose of playing or worshipping. The colorful dolls are made from a natural resin-like ingredient called lac, derived from lac insects, with just a basic indication of limbs and other features.    

All materials will be provided, and participants can collect their work after the completion of the workshop.
