In 2013, I got together with Preethi from Indya kaleidoscope‚ ‚ and conducted our first Warli workshop in Bangalore.‚ 
The workshop was conducted in a quaint creative place the IK office in Koramangala and was such a learning experience for us.‚ Spread over 6 hrs .. we studied warli symbols, practiced on rough sheets then progressed to painting gift envelopes and then to A4 sized handmade papers .. and finally wooden trays.

How to make a Warli Art Handpainted Tray

Warli Tray 003
 
 
 
This WARLI Handpainted tray has been hand painted in warli art on a glazed wooden surface depicts a scene from the rural VILLAGES of Maharastra. The handpainting on the surface of the tray depicts that the rural villagers are blissfully dancing in group, celebrating & rejoicing during the festival time. The natural brushed patterns are visible on the top & bottom of the tray. The tray borders are beautifully designed with warli motifs. The glazed texture of the tray adds a freshness and uniqueness to any setting. It helps to serve refreshing drinks to the guests in a traditional & ethnic manner.
