Overview

Used in multiple civilisations since ancient times, henna is a plant-based dye that can be applied to skin, hair, fingernails, leather and wood. Today henna is most commonly employed for temporary body art, often presented in intricate decorative designs. In this workshop, participants will observe the process of preparing henna paste and learn about its various origins, some of its health benefits and its application. Traditional Emirati and more contemporary designs will be compared.
