Listed below are the details of my dot mandala workshops and upcoming events I will be attending.
Workshops - There are up to 8 places available on each workshop and they are held at Kingswinford Methodist Church just outside Dudley. I can also bring my mandala workshops to you! If you are a club, school, community group, company or any other type of group/organisation, you can book workshops for delivery either at my location or yours. Discounts are available for group bookings. If you would like find out more, please get in touch via the form on my ‘Contact’ page.
Workshops are 3.5 hours. The session begins with an introduction to the origins of mandalas and their uses in various religions and cultures around the world. We will then look at the mandala design you will be painting and you will get to choose and mix your chosen colour palette for your mandala. Next, I will demonstrate the dotting techniques and brushwork involved. There will then be the opportunity to practice these techniques on black card before you start to paint your mandala.

Everything you will need:
*A 15cm diameter wooden ‘round’ (a circular wooden canvas), pre-prepared with a base-coat of paint and grid lines, all ready for you to paint the mandala design.
