GURUGRAM: Alive Studio’s early-bird ticket for its 31 October large-canvas painting session is scheduled to close at 11.50 pm IST today, 17 October. The event page lists Rs 2,400 before that switch and Rs 2,900 afterwards, price as of 17 October 2026, 9.30 am IST.

The studio’s current calendar also lists an artist market and making sessions later this month. These are Gurugram bookings, at second floor, Building 823, Golf Course Road, Sector 42. Alive Studio runs a separate Delhi Art Cafe at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj, so checking the city matters before choosing an activity. Its current programme places the forthcoming market, Gond painting, botanical plates and large-canvas session under Gurgaon.

A market with separately priced activities

The 24 and 25 October artist market advertises more than 20 artists and makers, with ceramics, fine art, jewellery, stationery and pressed-flower work among the offerings. The listed event span runs from noon on 24 October to 7 pm on 25 October. That continuous range should not be treated as verified opening hours for each day.

The Rs 400 tickets are specifically for one person’s activities at the Make Table, with separate tickets for each date. They are not described as an all-workshops pass. Banaras-ghat watercolours is listed for noon to 2.30 pm on 24 October at Rs 1,500. Ceramic sgraffito runs from noon to 2 pm on 25 October at Rs 2,000, including one firing; wax candle painting follows from 4 to 6 pm at Rs 1,500. These are displayed prices at the same check.

The Gond art workshop is on Tuesday, 27 October, from 4 pm to 7 pm. Its regular ticket is listed at Rs 1,500 at the same check. Materials, step-by-step guidance, coffee, tea and nibbles are included. The organiser recommends the session for ages 16 and above.

This is a guided painting project centred on birds, leafy forms and decorative patterns. Participants are to work from simple shapes, arrange a colour palette and add repeated motifs and fine details. The description makes the intended activity clearer than the workshop name alone: it is a specific composition-building session rather than an open studio slot. The age figure is an organiser recommendation, so anyone considering a booking outside that group should confirm suitability directly instead of treating it as a guarantee of admission.

Clay at noon, a shared canvas later

On Saturday, 31 October, botanical plate making runs from noon to 2 pm. The page lists Rs 1,250 without firing or Rs 1,750 with one bisque firing, at the same price check. Both ticket names refer to the same workshop; the Rs 500 difference is for the stated firing option.

The project uses natural clay to make plates with leaf, stem and floral impressions. Materials and mentoring are included, with guidance on rolling, shaping, refining and controlling the depth of the decoration. The recommended age is 13 and above. Readers choosing the firing ticket should settle collection arrangements with the studio before booking. A ticket covering one bisque firing should not be assumed to include every possible finishing service. Those intending to use a plate for food should also ask about its finished surface and suitable use rather than deciding from its shape.

The large-canvas session follows from 5 pm to 8 pm on 31 October. Each ticket admits up to two people working together on one 2-by-3-foot canvas. This is a shared project, not two separate canvases. The organiser describes acrylic painting, composition, colour harmony and texture work, with brushes and palette knives. It says prior experience is unnecessary and lists a glass of wine and light nibbles. Anyone booking should check the current ticket stage before paying; a displayed sale deadline does not establish remaining availability.
