Friendship Day is no longer just about exchanging friendship bands or catching up over coffee. Across Chandigarh, the celebration has evolved into a day of shared experiences, with creative workshops, brunches and community gatherings offering friends new ways to spend quality time together. From sip-and-paint sessions to pottery, Kintsugi and bedazzle art workshops, the city has plenty on offer for those looking to celebrate the occasion differently.
“We want people to skip the usual cafés and hang-out spots and come together to make this day memorable. We are bringing the tricity’s most diverse creative pop-up to Social, Sector 7, where people can pick the craft that matches their aesthetic. Be it pottery, Kintsugi, bedazzle art or chenille flowers, it’s the perfect way to unwind, laugh and create something beautiful together,” says Deepali of Deepakriti Institute, which is hosting the workshop.
Meanwhile, Strokes and Verses Art Studio by Balpreet is organising ‘Collective Community Canvas’. Priced at ₹450 per person, the session includes refreshments, a community canvas painting activity and a small canvas that participants can paint and take home. “It’s a space to paint, connect, laugh over chai, enjoy good music and create something beautiful together,” says Balpreet Kaur, owner of the studio in Sector 37B, where the session will be held between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.
