Mehndi Body Art with Margie at the Somers Library  

Mehndi Body Art with Margie at the Somers Library  
Thursday, May 30 2019, 4:30 - 6:00 pm 

For centuries mehndi, the art of henna painting on the body, has been practiced in India, Africa, and the Middle East where the henna plant is believed to bring love, good fortune, and protection. When you adorn yourself with mehndi you are the recipient of an ancient female art form, a tradition that has been passed from one generation to the next. This is a hands-on workshop given by Margie Nugent, an accomplished body artist and owner of Making Faces Parties in Mount Kisco, NY. Here you will create your very own henna designs and everyone who wants one will go home with a henna by Margie.The henna we will be using is all natural, made from finely sifted henna, lemon juice and essential oils. With proper care, a henna stain can last between 2-3 weeks. This program is intended for teens/tweens entering grades 6 and up (as of September 2018). Space is limited to 12; please register on our online events calendar here or call the library at 232-5717. 
IMPORTANT: All Participants must have a signed permission slip from their parent or guardian.

Margie Nugent is an accomplished body artist and owner of Making Faces Parties who has dedicated her life to sharing the art of Mehndi with the world-from large body art conventions, to corporate and private clients. She is currently based in Mt. Kisco, New York.
