Get ready for the week ahead and join us for a relaxing and inspiring brunchy workshop where you’ll learn the art of creating beautiful mandalas! Mandalas are intricate circular designs symbolizing unity and harmony, and they serve as a wonderful way to express your creativity and find your center.
In this workshop, you’ll be guided through the process of designing and coloring your own mandala using various techniques and materials. Whether you choose to draw, paint, or use mixed media, we can provide tips and tricks to help you unleash your creativity and create a stunning masterpiece.
All materials will be provided, so just bring your enthusiasm and a desire to unwind. This workshop is perfect for crafters of all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand your artistic repertoire.
We can supply the OJ but stop by The Walnut Market across the street and get 5% off your choice of Prosecco to keep you refreshed as you get lost in the colors and patterns of mandala-making. Come enjoy a peaceful Sunday of creativity, mindfulness, and connection with fellow art lovers.
Reserve your spot today, and let’s create some mandala magic together!
This workshop is a recurring workshop every 3 weeks.
