Alpona & idol-making studio — Workshops at BSPP BirminghamWorkshops

In the months before each puja, our artisans open the studio floor: alpona patterns are drawn, clay is shaped and decorations are painted for the pandal. These monthly sessions teach the same techniques used to dress our own altar.

Come for one session or follow the whole build from first sketch to final decoration. Materials are included, and finished pieces go on display in the pandal with the maker's name.

What's included

  • Alpona floor art and clay modelling
  • Led by our pandal artisans
  • Teens & adults — materials included
  • Monthly sessions before puja season
