Introduction to Dot Mandala Painting

Description

Spend a relaxed morning learning the art of dot mandala painting. Known for its association with meditation and mindfulness this dot mandala session will introduce you to creating simple dot mandala patterns on mini canvases. After a short introduction to the workshop, you will choose your colours to paint your mandalas. You will then have a demonstration on how to use the tools to make perfect round dots from which you will build a simple mandala design. After some time practising the dotting techniques, you will be ready to create your own dot mandalas on paper and up to two mini canvases to take home. With small numbers, and plenty of guidance from the tutor, this workshop aims to provide a relaxed and enjoyable introduction to the art of dot mandala painting, and is recommended for those who have never painted dot mandalas before.

Originally starting out on my creative journey making rustic style wirework jewellery, I further developed my art skills to include folk art painting, dot mandala work, block printing, and folk art style felt designs. I have taught adults for many years within the NHS and university settings, earning a post graduate teaching qualification for adults along the way. I now enjoy teaching in a more relaxed atmosphere specialising in courses and workshops for adults. I run my workshops in Cumnor, Oxfordshire. I am also the creator and organiser of Crafty Boaters Handmade Markets in Lechlade-on-Thames
