About
Ranjana Patel joins our festival this year as a hugely respected henna artist with more than 25 years of professional experience and a creative journey that began when she was just 12. Known for her flowing, organic style and her deep understanding of traditional henna techniques, she has built an international reputation, with features on BBC World News, Channel 4 and in the Daily Mail. Her work blends elegance, structure and natural movement, shaped by influences ranging from embroidery and textiles to her own background in computing and design.
At the festival, Ranjana will be sharing her signature party and festival‑style henna—quick, stylish and perfect for artists looking to expand their skills. Her demo focuses on jewellery‑inspired patterns and high‑impact designs that are both accessible and reliable crowd‑pleasers. She’s passionate about natural henna and about helping artists understand the method behind creating balanced, consistent work. Ranjana is genuinely excited to join our creative community this year and looks forward to inspiring both new and experienced artists.
