The objective of these sessions was to teach creative bottle decoration techniques, allowing participants to express their artistic skills and create functional and beautiful decor items. Ms Manshi Yadav took three bottle work training sessions for 10 girls and 11 boys, where they learned different bottle decoration techniques.

The first session on January 1st focused on basic bottle work of drawing floral designs on glass bottles using an outliner. After allowing the outliner to dry, they filled the designs with glass color, which was also left to dry, completing the bottle decoration.

On January 11th , the training moved to normal bottle design, where participants used similar materials to create various designs on glass bottles using the outliner. After the design dried, the participants added glass color, giving the bottle a vibrant and artistic look.

The final session on January 19th introduced a more advanced technique—Bottle Work with Light. In this session, participants created designs like circles and boxes on the bottles using outliner.
