The walls of Pipalbot Lifestyle at Babar Mahar Revisited are adorned with a unique collection of paintings called Alchemy-watercolours and weaves, made with a technique using watercolours and soap. The artist is Bangkok based Peter Delahaye, who specialises in abstract art. The collection also includes his designs, interpreted into natural fibre rugs by Tim Linkin's team of designers and weavers.

For those curious about his techniques and willing to explore their own, Delahaye is conducting a painting workshop on the theme 'hiding and revealing'. "It's a chance for people who perhaps have never painted before to experiment themselves and understand how I work to make abstract paintings," says Delahaye. The workshop will accommodate 10-12 participants for a 3-hour session in which Delahaye will demonstrate and explain how one of his paintings was made and the thought processes behind it.  The floor will then be open for the participants to experiment with his and their own methods.

The workshop will take place on 13 and 14 November at Pipalbot, Babar Mahal Revisited. The cost per session is
Rs 3,000 including tea, snacks and painting supplies.
