Trident Group Holds Inaugural Craft and Design Workshop Celebrating Indian Art Forms

Two-day initiative brings together more than 100 participants for pottery, Batik art, Gond art and DIY activities

Trident Group organised its inaugural two-day Craft and Design Workshop on 27 October 2026, bringing together master artists, creative institutions, employees and children to explore traditional Indian art forms. The workshop attracted more than 100 participants and focused on hands-on learning, creative expression and appreciation of India’s artistic heritage.

Four Art Forms Featured in the Workshop

The workshop included four activities: pottery, Batik art, Gond art and a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) workshop. Each session introduced participants to different artistic techniques and provided opportunities to learn through practical activities, guided by artists and creative institutions.

The Batik art session was conducted by Himanshu Art Institute, Delhi, where participants explored the techniques and patterns associated with the traditional art form. The Gond art workshop was led by master artist Mr. Anand Kumar Shyam from Bhopal, introducing participants to the visual storytelling traditions of Gond art.

Creative Arts Institute, Ludhiana, facilitated the pottery workshop, giving participants the opportunity to work with clay. The DIY workshop, conducted by Aubergiene, Ludhiana, encouraged participants to explore their creativity through hands-on activities.

Focus on Preserving Traditional Indian Crafts

A central focus of the initiative was the preservation and continuation of India’s artistic heritage. The sessions introduced participants to the traditions, techniques and creative practices associated with Indian craftsmanship.

By bringing artists and participants together, the workshop provided an opportunity to understand the cultural significance of traditional art forms and recognise the work of artists and artisan communities who continue to practise them.

Encouraging Creativity Across Generations

The workshop offered activities for participants of different age groups. Children explored traditional art forms, developed creative skills and experimented with their imagination in an interactive setting. Adults had an opportunity to reconnect with India’s cultural traditions and reflect on the role of practising and sharing traditional crafts with future generations.

The initiative also highlighted the relevance of traditional craftsmanship in contemporary life, with an emphasis on introducing younger generations to these practices and encouraging wider appreciation of their cultural value.

Through the inaugural Craft and Design Workshop, Trident Group highlighted its focus on creativity, employee engagement and cultural appreciation. The event centred on experiencing and sharing Indian craftsmanship as a way to support the continuity of traditional artistic practices.
