Meeting Sayeda M Habib in her studio recently, was an extremely interesting experience.  Preparing for her exhibition to take place at Canvas Gallery, the artist was in the process of grinding her colours by hand and she showed me the varying shades of one colour she had created by various methods.  

While I viewed the artist’s work in process, Sayeda shared her delight in the fact that the Prince’s School of Traditional Art based in London, where she had spent many absorbing hours, now had an agreement with the Rangoonwala Centre. A programme of art based on the teaching methods of `Princes School’ was now taking place in Karachi. These were in the charge of graduates of the Prince’s School, including several from Pakistan.
