Welcome to my Clay and Mirror Work Art Course, where the ancient tradition of Lippan artistry meets modern convenience. The online Lippan course guides you through the intricate process of creating stunning Lippan art, from design conception to mirror embellishment.

About the Course
Hailing from the arid landscapes of Kutch, Gujarat, Lippan art is a testament to the creativity of village women who transform simple materials into intricate beauty. Traditionally, they use mud, camel dung, and mirrors to adorn their dwellings. In our contemporary world of décor and furnishing, we’ve adapted this art form, employing air-dried clay, glue, and acrylic colours to craft a captivating paste that moulds into an array of alluring designs.

I'm Sunitha, an artist whose passion for creativity has been my guiding light since childhood. Originally from Bengaluru, India, I now call the vibrant city of Sydney, Australia, my home. Art has always been my sanctuary, igniting my soul with its beauty and depth.

From the moment I picked up a brush, I knew that art would be my lifelong companion. Throughout my journey, spanning from my school days to the present, I've explored a multitude of artistic forms, each one fueling my passion even further. Whether it's the mesmerizing intricacies of mandala lippan art, the tactile allure of textured canvases, the boundless possibilities of digital mediums, or the elegant art of lettering, I find joy in every stroke and technique.

Sharing my love for art and guiding others in their creative endeavors is my greatest pleasure. As an artist and teacher, I strive to ignite that same passion in others, helping them discover the beauty and power of artistic expression. Join me on this journey of discovery, where art becomes a language of the soul, connecting us all in a celebration of creativity and imagination.
