About the Workshop
The art of making lampshades has its origin in leather puppetry, popularly known as ''Tholubommalata'' (dance of leather puppets) in Telugu. It is one of the earliest performing arts. The perforation executed on the colored leather gives an appearance of rich ornamentation against the background of light. Tholu Bommalata is considered a part of cultural heritage since leather puppetry combines many different arts including painting, engraving, music, dance, acting, and storytelling with theater.
In this workshop you will, be introduced to the Tholubommalata style of painting in detail, learn about the history and the significance of the art, learn to paint and decorate your home with translucent leather table lamp shades, inspired by Tholubommalata artform!
