Kathith recently wrapped up their first round of the new calligraphy workshop, which was taught by artist Mr. Vipul Sondagar over four online sessions. Around 20 participants got to practice lettering strokes with refinement and elegance. Although not an Indian form, the skills learned in this medieval art can easily be applied to other styles, including Indian ones. We are so glad to have offered this unique course and hope to continue hosting new workshops!

Have you ever found yourself lost in intricate patterns that seem to calm the mind yet spark creativity at the same time? Such are the benefits and experience of Sikku Kolam, a traditional art form from Tamilnadu where beautiful geometric designs become gateways to both mathematical connections and inner peace. 

Kolam art features symmetrical patterns that are "almost meditative, as the mind becomes absorbed in the process." Kolams also help people of all ages develop a sense of logical thinking, spatial reasoning, geometry, and symmetry, all while helping reduce stress levels. 

So, whether you’re seeking a creative outlet, a mathematical teaching tool, or simply a moment to yourself, Sikku Kolam offers a perfect blend of art, math, and emotional well-being that is worth exploring.
