*Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) hosted a Pottery Painting Workshop for medical students of FUSH on Saturday, 22 August, 2026 at the National Art Gallery Islamabad, on special request for around 110 students from the Foundation University School of Health Sciences (FUSH) Rawalpindi.*

The workshop provided a hands-on introduction to the art of pottery painting, emphasizing creativity and traditional craftsmanship. Participants engaged in decorating ceramic items, exploring color, design, and traditional motifs. Under the expert guidance of skilled instructors, attendees learned techniques to transform plain pottery into unique, hand-painted pieces.

Designed for beginners, the session offered a practical, ‘do-it-yourself’ approach to learning while encouraging self-expression through art.

“This workshop was part of our ‘Art for Therapy’ series, which aims to merge artistic expression with mental health benefits,” said Ms. Mariam Ahmed, Director Visual Arts Division PNCA. “We are delighted to offer this enriching experience to medical students, promoting both creativity and wellbeing.
