Students were curious to know about the materials used in the mixture of mud and its percentage.

The talk show followed by the tour of mud house prepared by the studio was a mesmerizing one. Students were introduced to various types of stone available in Rajasthan and it’s important in building designs. Thereafter students indulged themselves in the fun frolic activity of cobing technique. They formed a group of students and under the guidance of the volunteers  they cobbed the mixture of mud, straws, clay and prepared a base material used in the building and made themselves an art piece of their own creativity with the help of volunteers.
