'Unmasking the Artist Within' - Art Therapy Workshop for 70+ School Teachers!

Over 70 enthusiastic school teachers from across Jaipur gathered at ARCH College of Design & Business to participate in "Unmasking the Artist Within", a unique Art Therapy Workshop that encouraged self-expression, creativity, and reflection through art.

The workshop was led by Ms. Archana Surana, Founder & Director of ARCH, and was organised in collaboration with the Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust and the Jaipur History Festival. The event created a space for teachers to pause, reconnect with themselves, and experience the therapeutic joy of art-making.

The workshop unfolded in three creatively designed phases. In the first, titled Creative Serendipity, teachers explored the ARCH campus while crafting decorative masks using an array of colourful and textured materials. This activity allowed them to play, imagine, and create freely.

In the second phase, Thoughts on Hands, a ball of wool was passed between participants, symbolising connection, support, and the interwoven nature of shared human experiences. The final phase, Hold Your Breath and Paint, challenged participants to paint white T-shirts while holding their breath — encouraging them to let go of control and dive into spontaneous expression.

The event concluded on a high note as the teachers proudly walked the ramp, each wearing their hand-painted T-shirts, celebrating not just their creations, but the creative spirit within. It was a heartwarming day filled with laughter, learning, and the rediscovery of the artist within each teacher.
