Rangoli Classes in Ireland
Symmetry you draw on the floor, from memory
Rangoli is drawn on the floor, in loose powder, with no eraser and no undo — and it is meant to be swept away the next morning. That combination teaches something a sketchbook cannot: plan the whole thing before you commit, because the first line already decides the last.

Symmetry you draw on the floor, from memory
A drawing class trains the hand on paper, at a desk, at eye level. Rangoli is a different plane, a different scale and an unforgiving medium, and most children who draw well on paper are lost the first time they work on the ground. We start with the dot grid, because symmetry on a floor is arithmetic before it is art.
Ireland’s Indian community has grown quickly over the last two decades, carried largely by doctors and nurses in the health service — many of them from Kerala — and by engineers in Dublin’s tech sector. Most of these families are the first generation abroad, which means the grandparent who would once have taught shlokas is usually a video call away rather than down the hall.
Symmetry worked out rather than guessed, so a design closes correctly
Powder control — the pinch, the pour, and a steady continuous line
Regional styles distinguished: kolam, muggu, alpana, rangoli
Festival designs timed for Diwali, Pongal, Ugadi and Onam
Batch timings for Ireland
Live classes on GMT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Ireland keeps UK time, so the same after-school weekday window works here: 4:30 to 6:30 PM Irish time, which is 9:00 to 11:00 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer. Saturday morning batches run too. Families working hospital shifts can move between batches week to week.
Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick are where most Indian families in Ireland live. Irish families usually sit in the same batches as UK children, since the clock is identical.

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For rangoli classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for GMT. Ireland keeps UK time, so the same after-school weekday window works here: 4:30 to 6:30 PM Irish time, which is 9:00 to 11:00 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer.
“My daughter used to freeze on stage. After a few months of public speaking classes, she confidently delivered a speech at her school assembly. The mentors are patient and truly gifted.”
Rangoli Classes in Ireland, FAQs
Mildly, and that is part of it. Most families work on a card sheet laid on the floor which lifts away cleanly, and we teach the pinch grip early precisely because it cuts spillage right down.
