At Norbulingka Institute, guests interested in Tibetan arts can join flexible workshops ranging from one day to longer stays. Designed around individual interests and available time, these workshops offer an immersive way to experience the sophistication of Tibetan artistic traditions. Participants work alongside master artisans in studio settings and create their own finished pieces to take home, along with a certificate acknowledging their study.

Rather than structured classroom instruction, the workshops follow an apprenticeship-style approach, allowing participants to engage directly in studio life and become part of the Norbulingka community. Workshops are currently offered in thangka painting, wood painting, wood carving, and appliqué. Accommodation can be arranged at the on-campus Norling Guesthouse, or within Norbulingka for package bookings.

To further enhance access and structured learning, Norbulingka is launching two new programmes: a One-Week Introductory Art Programme, designed for visitors seeking a short, guided exposure to Tibetan arts, and a One-Month Intensive Art Programme for those wishing to develop deeper skills through sustained studio practice and mentorship.
