Craft & Chat: HENNA/MEHNDI Artistry

April 22 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Henna has been used in ancient Egypt, ancient Near East and then the Indian subcontinent to dye skin, hair and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. Today, in South Asia, Mehndi is use in celebration of special occasions such as weddings and birthdays in the joyous gathering of people. The Henna paste symbolizes good health and prosperity in marriage, and in some cultures, the darker the henna stain, the deeper the love between two individuals. Henna is also often used as a temporary tattoo. Henna is also used to safely dye hair, nails, and fabrics like silk, wool, and leather.
