From free-hand henna to the transfer application method, this henna course run by Amy Jones of Creative Capers covers all you need to know in this popular art-form. Your training will be given in the most user friendly, organic Henna product available and by the end of this course you should feel confident enough to offer this service to potential clients.
The mystical art of Mendhi, or Henna Body painting is one of the oldest forms of body art and spans many cultures. Over the past decade all forms of body art have become increasingly popular, aided by national media coverage and the rise in the number of festivals, the demand for this service has increased enormously. This course will outline the practice, culture and today’s fashion trends which surround this popular body art form.
This henna body art course will be of great value to you if you are looking for a different type of hobby, or to add a new service line to your face painting business or are making an addition to a beauty therapy or hair-dressing service. During the course Amy will cover health and safety aspects relating to good working practices and why black henna isn’t regulated and should be avoided at all costs. Application methods and aftercare, along with cultural styles, coloured henna and common elements used in design placement and how to put them together will be discussed.
Demonstrations will be given in the mixing, coning and application of free-hand designs and on how to make transfers for those who aren’t so artistically gifted. You will initially practice line control and elements on paper, then onto arms, hands or feet!
