Mandala drawing has become popular in recent years as a fun and calming activity, and originates in spiritual practices where a mandala is said to represent the entire Universe, and can be an exercise in reunifying the self. In our class we will start with the basics and aim for a relaxing and inspirational experience!
You will be taught and guided in a step-by-step lesson, leading to a beautiful mandala and a practice that you can take away with you and continue in your own life whenever you want to feel calm or create something impressive.
Who this workshop is for:
This Mandala Workshop is for anyone interested in increasing creativity or finding a new way to unwind. No artistic experience is necessary.
What you will need:
- A few sheets of paper – ideally blank, A4 or larger but we can work with what you have to hand
- A pencil for drawing
- A rubber/eraser
- Colour pencils or pens for colouring in (optional)
- We recommend bringing a cup of tea (or any beverage which you prefer!)
We will be drawing a circle template, so there are a few options here:
- I will send a printable template beforehand for those who have printers
- A compass or any circular objects can be used to draw a template – cups, bowls, plates, even rolls of selotape!
- Circles can even be drawn freehand, no problem!
