Program Description

Event Details

Learn the art of henna! This plant-based dye has been used across the world for thousands of years, but the most popular modern forms originate in India. In this program, you'll learn to paint yourself with henna to make long-lasting designs that resemble a temporary tattoo. 

Disclaimer! Before signing up, please ensure you've read and understand the following information:

For best results, the henna will need to dry for 30 to 60 minutes after application. Activities like driving may smudge or otherwise affect your henna, so you may wish to make arrangements to accommodate this. Properly dried, the henna designs may last for up to a week.

We'll be using henna that is generally safe to use on skin. The instructor will discuss the safety of henna, and will offer options like testing on a small patch of skin and working with the henna on paper, instead of skin, if you think you may be allergic.
