An Unparalleled Summer Line-up
Paintheads – Masters of Sensory Art Exploration
Mumbai-based art innovators and co-founders of Paintheads, Kunj Mehta and Rushil Sheth, bring their boundary-breaking workshops to Kandima’s vibrant KULA Art Studio and iconic Breeze Pool Bar from 30-31st August. With a focus on immersive, hands-on creativity, the duo will lead a series of signature sessions designed to help children turn their island experiences into expressive, memory-laden artworks.
Through their acclaimed formats like Island Impressions and Unmasked, kids will be guided to transform the sights, sounds, and textures of the Maldives into layered, mixed-media pieces. From masking tape techniques to using travel memorabilia for collage art, each activity offers a unique way to unplug from screens and reconnect with nature, self-expression, and imagination. These are joyful, sensory storytelling sessions that promise to leave participants with treasured keepsakes and lasting memories.
Craft India Collaborative – Shaping Stories Through Clay
Celebrated for her contemporary revival of Indian crafts, Garvi Kotak, founder of Craft India Collaborative, will lead a vibrant sculpting series from 15-17th August at Kandima’s KULA Art Studio. Across three unique workshops, guests will be guided through the tactile art of clay sculpting, using everyday inspirations to mould beautiful, expressive pieces by hand.
Each hour-long session will explore a different theme, encouraging young creators to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary forms. While the foundation remains in pottery, the outcomes are shaped entirely by imagination-making each creation a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. With a blend of tradition, play, and creativity, these workshops offer a grounded yet inspiring way to experience the magic of Indian craftsmanship.
A Celebration of Sound & Speed
For motorsport enthusiasts, Formula 2 champion and rising F1 star Tho Pourchaire will take guests on an adrenaline-fueled karting journey from 1-4 August, hosted at Kandima’s newly launched, professional grade e-Go Karting course, Fast Track.
