*Mumbai:* DIY and arts-and-crafts creator Shweta Mahadik recently conducted an engaging workshop at *Art in Me*, an initiative dedicated to empowering and nurturing India’s growing community of women artisans, creators, and house makers who have transformed their passion for art into a profession.
The program brought together over 120 women artists from across the country for an immersive learning experience focused on creativity, skill enhancement, and personal growth. Through interactive sessions and expert-led workshops, participants were encouraged to explore new artistic techniques while building confidence in their creative abilities.
As part of the initiative, Shweta led a hands-on workshop where she trained 120 women in creating decorative art pieces. The session offered participants an opportunity to learn practical skills, experiment with new ideas, and engage in meaningful creative exchange.
Beyond the workshop, Shweta shared her inspiring journey from a successful television career to becoming a respected DIY and arts-and-crafts creator. Her story resonated strongly with participants, many of whom balance their creative aspirations with the responsibilities of managing their homes and families.
Speaking about her experience, Shweta Mahadik said, “I express myself through art, and this was my first time creating art with 120 other professional artists. I would like to thank Fevicryl for bringing talented people together. It was a great experience sharing knowledge and learning from one another. This initiative was aimed at instilling confidence in house makers because we often tend to forget ourselves when we are burdened with responsibilities. I am truly overwhelmed with the response and hope to conduct many more such workshops in the future.”
The workshop received an overwhelmingly positive response from attendees, who connected deeply with both the creative learning experience and Shweta’s motivational insights. Her ability to combine practical skill-building with personal storytelling made the session a memorable highlight of the program.
By encouraging women to rediscover their creative identities and believe in their potential, the initiative continues to create meaningful opportunities for artistic growth, learning, and self-expression.
