Pakistani Truck Art–Inspired Greeting Cards with Hira Butt

This family-friendly workshop invites participants of all ages to create handmade greeting cards inspired by the vibrant visual culture of Pakistani truck art.

This distinctive style provides a rich and joyful source of inspiration for creativity. In this relaxed, hands-on session, participants will explore these visual traditions while designing their own personalised cards.
