Overview

In this personalized live experience of Meenakari, the participants will learn under the mentor Jaswant Kumar Meenakar, an artist whose family has been practicing this form for more than 450 yrs. The artist is passionate about preserving and spreading this handmade art which is his family legacy. Jaswant Ji is a National Merit Award recipient.

While giving special and personalized attention to everyone, he makes sure that no one misses out on any information or learnings. The workshop is held at his studio only, so the participants also get to see the maestro's personal exhibits.

Meenakari is normally done by creating a design on brass, copper, silver, and gold with the help of simple tools. The engraved design on the metal is filled with colored enamels to have a final vibrant output.

The art piece created at the end of the workshop can be taken back as a souvenir.

The meenakari workshop I booked with Rajasthan Studio has been, by far, one of the most fulfilling experiences. This is the best gift I’ve given to both myself and my sis in law; the price was well worth the experience…we both cherished our time with our artist and his family. They were lovely to be around and with. We learned so much about the artist, his art, the history, and the beauty and love for the art deepened within us. Kunal was our guide and we absolutely adored his demeanor and his presence; he shared so much knowledge with us and gave us his time in a wonderfully genuine way. We will be recommending Rajasthan Studio and Kunal to everyone we know. I am sincerely impressed with the founder and owner for creating such a beautiful business that supports artists and his/her local community.

Great experience in old city Jaipur. I was accompanied by the company staff Vikram who gave me a great walkthrough of the entire process of Meenakari. A very unique experience where I could make something with the expert himself. Amazing hospitality, value for money and so many things to learn about Rajasthan's art and culture through a live hands-on experience.

Le prix est prohibitif au regard de ce qui est proposé. Nous n'avons rien réalisé alors que nous pensions graver et émailler une pièce. La personne nous a donné à chacune une pièce qu'elle avait réalisée autrefois, mais ce n'était pas ce que nous attendions. La presta n'a duré que 2h au lieu de 3/3,5 Pour 13€ de plus j'ai pris un cours 4h d'émaillage en technique du plique-à-jour à l'école des arts joailliers (Van cleef & Arpels) et franchement c'était autre chose.
