Art and in particular, Mandala Art is a great activity to encourage mindfulness, relaxation and of course creativity.

The mandala is an old ancient symbol that means 'sacred circle' in Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages spoken in what is now India.

The belief is that the geometrical form speaks to something deep within every human being and drawing mandalas gives a sacred space to meet the Self and the universe.

During these workshops we will be looking into the meaning of the colours that we will be incorporating in our mandala artwork.

You will have the opportunity to follow the traditional style of mandala in circles or take your inspiration from everyday objects in our surroundings, and using the mandala style to create unique pieces of art.

• Week 1 - Learn the basics of drawing mandalas on paper with pencils and gel pens.
• Week 2 - Painting mandalas with acrylics on a canvas board
• Week 3 - Painting mandalas with acrylics on Stones & Rocks.

We will provide paper along with help making your own tools for creating mandalas.

• Pencils
• Ruler
• Compass (We can supply this)
• Gel/Ink Pens

The tutor will discuss at the first session what you will need to bring subsequent weeks.
