The Jodhpur City Knowledge & Innovation Foundation (JCKIF) successfully hosted “अभिव्यक्ति – A Series of Therapeutic Workshops” at IIT Jodhpur, an initiative designed to blend creativity, culture, and mindfulness. The workshops provide participants with a unique opportunity to engage with traditional crafts in a reflective and interactive setting.

The inaugural edition, अभिव्यक्ति 1.0, featured hands-on sessions in Block Printing and Pottery, led by master artisans. A total of 48 participants, including students and faculty from IIT Jodhpur, NIFT Jodhpur, and FDDI Jodhpur, explored the heritage of these crafts, learned techniques directly from artisans, and created their own handcrafted pieces.

Special recognition was awarded for the Best Block Printing Designs, honoring participants who showcased exceptional creativity and innovation. Organizers emphasized that अभिव्यक्ति goes beyond learning craft skills—it is about slowing down, reconnecting with traditions, and fostering well-being through creative expression.

The event concluded with enthusiastic feedback from participants, many of whom shared how the workshop helped them relax, experiment, and discover the joy of handmade art. JCKIF extends sincere gratitude to IIT Jodhpur for their support, to the artisans for sharing their knowledge, and to all participants for making अभिव्यक्ति 1.0 a resounding success. The series will continue with more workshops, promoting a fusion of culture, creativity, and wellness for the community.
