Mandala Painting Workshops
Dot mandala art is wonderfully relaxing and mindful art form, focusing on repetitive, calming motions rather than freehand drawing skills. This means it is beginner-friendly and a very accessible and rewarding creative activity. Dot mandala art can also incorporate brushstrokes to broaden the scope of your mandala designs.
If you would like to try mandala painting, I offer workshops that are all beginner-friendly. They are intended to introduce you to the wonderful world of mandala art (and hopefully pass on the mandala bug) and provide a space for mindful, calm creativity. I offer three workshop options:
Public workshops: These workshops are open to all and take place in Wolverhampton and Kingswinford.
Private group workshops: These workshops offer you the opportunity to book a private mandala workshop for a group of your friends or work colleagues at either of my locations - Wolverhampton or Kingswinford.
Mobile workshops: If you would like me to come to your venue to deliver a workshop, then this is the option for you! I can create bespoke workshops with a range of options.
Public Workshops:
Mini Mandala Workshop
This is a 2 hour workshop that will introduce you to the art of dot mandala. You will be painting a mini mandala onto a 10cm coaster and receive a little wooden easel to take away with you to display your mini mandala masterpiece on - totally adorable! If you want to, your mini mandala can also be used as a cold drink coaster.
In this workshop you will:
Understand how to use guide lines to ensure a beautifully symmetrical design.
Learn how to use dotting tools and acrylic paints to create dots and ‘swooshes’ of various sizes, including how to ‘walk the dots’ (creating a tapered line of dots with one dip of paint).
Use these tools to create a mandala, either following a design or creating your own.
Seal your finished piece at home to enhance the colours, give a subtle sheen and protect it from dust, moisture and UV damage. A pot of varnish and a brush will be provided for you to complete this step at home once your mandala is fully dry.
What’s Provided?
Everything you will need:
A 10cm FSC certified MDF coaster, prepared with a black base-coat of paint and guide lines.
Dotting tools
Acrylic paints and varnish
A selection of designs to refer to, or create your own!
