Answers to the questions people usually ask before joining a Kalpkarika workshop, ordering a kit, booking mentorship, or planning a private creative session.
Workshops & Bookings
How do I book a Kalpkarika workshop?
Choose a workshop from Upcoming Events, Online Workshops, Offline Workshops, or Recorded Sessions, select the available options such as batch, kit, or booking type, and complete checkout. Once your booking is confirmed, we will reach out within 24 hours with the next details. If you are unsure which session is right for you, message us and we will happily guide you.
Are the workshops beginner-friendly?
Yes. Most Kalpkarika workshops are designed to be welcoming for beginners. You do not need to be good at art to join. The sessions are guided step by step, with space for questions, experimentation, and a little beautiful mess along the way.
What types of workshops do you offer?
We offer live online workshops, offline art experiences, recorded sessions, DIY kits, and special formats such as textured art, concrete art, candle making, chenille flowers, mirror mosaic, gold leaf painting, sculpture painting, moon lamps, and more. The easiest way to see what is open now is to check Upcoming Events.
What happens after I book a live workshop?
After your booking is confirmed, we will contact you within 24 hours with the necessary workshop details. Please enter accurate contact information at checkout, preferably a WhatsApp number, so we can reach you easily and keep the experience smooth.
Can I book if I am not sure which batch or format to choose?
Yes. If you are confused between batches, kit options, or live versus recorded formats, reach out before booking. We can help you pick the option that fits your schedule, comfort level, and creative goals.
Online, Offline & Recorded Sessions
How do live online workshops work?
Live online workshops are guided sessions you can join from home. You learn in real time, follow the instructor step by step, and ask questions during the session. If the workshop has kit options, please choose carefully while booking so the right materials can be arranged.
Do you offer offline workshops?
Yes, we offer in-person art experiences when offline batches are available. These sessions are designed for slow afternoons, shared tables, and hands-on creative time. If the Offline Workshops collection is empty, it simply means there are no current in-person batches open. You can check back or contact us for updates.
How do recorded sessions work?
Recorded sessions let you learn at your own pace. After booking, and once you are ready with the required materials, you can request access to the recording. Access validity follows the Terms: seven days for hands-on sessions and one month for workshops and masterclasses, unless a product page states otherwise.
Will I get a recording if I miss a live session?
This depends on the specific workshop. Please check the product details before booking or ask us in advance. We will always try to guide you clearly before you reserve your seat.
Do recorded workshops include support?
Some recorded workshops mention post-workshop support through WhatsApp or include material lists and buying links after registration. Please check the specific workshop page, and if you need help choosing a recorded session, message us before booking.
Kits, Materials & Delivery
Are materials included in the workshop fee?
It depends on the workshop and the option you select. Some workshops offer Session Only, Session + Kit, Recording Only, Recording + Kit, or Kit Only. Please review the product options carefully before checkout so you book exactly what you need.
What if I choose a kit option?
Please provide a complete and accurate delivery address while placing your order. Kit delivery depends on the address and contact details you provide, and the courier partner may call you during delivery. A correct WhatsApp or phone number helps avoid delays.
What happens if my delivery address is incorrect?
Customers are responsible for entering the correct delivery address. Kalpkarika cannot be held responsible for delays or undelivered kits caused by incomplete or incorrect address details, so please double-check before checkout.
What if my kit arrives damaged?
Please record a clear unboxing video showing the package condition and kit contents. This is required for any exchange or replacement request for damaged parcels. Without an unboxing video, we may not be able to process a damage-related exchange.
Can I buy just a DIY kit?
Yes, selected DIY kits are available separately, such as the Bubble Tray DIY Kit. These are designed for creating at your own pace. Check the DIY Kits collection for current availability.
Payments, Cancellations & Policies
Can I cancel, transfer, or get a refund after booking?
Once workshop registration is completed, refunds and transfers are not provided, as stated in the Terms. Please review the workshop details, date, timing, format, kit option, and your availability before completing checkout.
Can I reschedule my workshop?
The Terms currently state that no refunds or transfers are provided once registration is complete. If something urgent comes up, you can still contact us and we will guide you as kindly as possible, but changes are not guaranteed. It is best to book only after confirming your availability.
Where can I read the full Terms & Conditions?
You can read the full Terms of Service before booking. We recommend reviewing it for kit delivery, recorded access, refunds, transfers, and damage-related exchange requests.

Can I commission a custom artwork?
Yes. For bespoke artworks, share your idea, preferred size, timeline, budget range, and reference images if you have them. We will review what can be created thoughtfully and guide you on the next steps.
How do I enquire for a private session or custom request?

Business Mentorship
What is the 1:1 Workshop Guidance session?
It is a personal guidance call for artists, makers, and creative people who want to plan, improve, or confidently host their own workshops. You can discuss your workshop idea, pricing, flow, participant experience, confidence, and next steps.
Do I need a fully planned workshop before booking mentorship?
No. You can book even if your idea is still early. Bring whatever context you have: workshop concepts, notes, past session details, Instagram page, product photos, doubts, or questions. The session is meant to help you gain clarity.
What is included in the mentorship session?
Each session begins with a 30-minute presentation from Kalpkarika's side, covering workshop planning, format, pricing, participant experience, instructor confidence, and practical next steps. The remaining time is for your questions and personalized discussion.
What is not included in mentorship?
The session is focused on workshop guidance and experience-sharing. It does not include art training, proprietary business details, supplier or vendor contacts, templates, or internal business resources.

What is the best way to contact Kalpkarika?

I am confused. Should I book live, recorded, or a kit?

If you mainly want materials and a self-paced creative activity, choose a DIY kit. And if you are still unsure, message us before booking. We will help you choose warmly and honestly.
