Drape Workshop - The Art of Wearing a Saree
Details
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

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.
