Drape Workshop - The Art of Wearing a Saree

About this event

Curious about sarees? Always wanted to learn how to drape one? Or already wear sarees and would like to pick up a few tips and techniques? Join **Berkeley Saree Club** for a hands-on introduction to the saree and the art of draping. We'll begin with a short introduction to sarees, followed by live draping demonstrations. Then it’s your turn! Participants will have time to practice draping with guidance from our volunteers. **What to expect** * A short introduction to sarees and draping * Live draping demonstrations * Hands-on practice for beginners * Tips and techniques for more experienced saree wearers **What to bring** * If you have a saree you'd like to practice with, please bring it along. * Please **wear or bring a saree petticoat (underskirt)** if you'd like to participate in the hands-on draping session. A fitted, full-length skirt that you can comfortably tuck fabric into can also work. * We will also have a limited number of sarees available for participants to use during the workshop. **No previous saree-draping experience is needed.** This is a **free community workshop**, but space is limited. Please register only if you plan to attend. All are welcome — come discover the possibilities of six yards of unstitched fabric.
