Program Description

Description

In the ancient art of mehndi, henna dye is applied to your skin to create intricate, temporary tattoo patterns with significant and often spiritual meaning. Henna tattooing uses a brown plant-based dye that tends to last two weeks or so before it starts to take on a faded appearance. While the form of body adornment dates back 5,000 years, it's generally used today to express luck and happiness, and is often featured at ceremonial events like weddings and births. If you attend a traditional Indian wedding, henna will almost always be a part of the celebration.

Experience the beautiful Art of Henna and get a small free-style design. No registration required; One person at a time.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
