Fans sculpt Labubu at hands-on polymer clay workshop in Gurugram

A weekend workshop in Gurugram gave Labubu fans a chance to make their own polymer clay dolls and take them home. The Clay Labubu Doll event ran from Jan 10 at 3:04 pm to Jan 11 at 3:04 pm at Pret A Manger, Ground Floor, Cyber Hub Sector 24, Phase 2, DLF Cyber City, Gurugram, NCR. The session was ticketed, with entry starting at INR 899 and a regular pass plus pay-at-venue option listed.

Organizers positioned the session as entry-level maker practice aimed at collectors, content creators, and anyone drawn to Labubu’s “viral cuteness.” The event description invited participants directly: "Step into the world of viral cuteness! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to sculpt your very own Labubu doll using polymer clay. No prior experience needed, just bring your creativity, and we’ll help you bring this mischievous character to life. All materials provided. Take home your handmade Labubu. Perfect for content and collectors!"

Participants worked with polymer clay and basic sculpting tools supplied by the hosts, finishing small Labubu figures suitable for display, photography, or adding to existing collections. The format emphasized hands-on instruction over lecture, letting attendees progress from basic shapes to the character’s signature expressions during the session. Ticketing was managed through an online events platform, with multiple pass types listed and an option to pay at the venue for on-the-spot attendees.

This local workshop is part of a broader pattern of community-driven, in-person maker events that keep the Labubu scene active beyond online fandom. For collectors it offered a way to expand a shelf lineup with a one-off handmade piece; for creators it offered fresh content opportunities, process shots, time-lapses, and behind-the-scenes posts made on-site are natural extensions. For crafters learning character sculpting, the low barrier to entry and provided materials lowered friction for trying a new medium.

The takeaway? If you missed this session, monitor local maker spaces and cafés in Cyber Hub and nearby markets, these spots are increasingly hosting micro-workshops tied to pop-culture characters. Our two cents? Bring patience and a small protective box for the trip home, photograph your work-in-progress for social content, and treat the first figure as a prototype you can refine at the next meet.
