An Introduction to Drawing Mandalas

Discover the calming and creative process of Mandala drawing in this relaxing beginner-friendly class. During the session you will learn the foundations of creating Mandalas, including the materials and tools used, how to get started and the step-by-step process of building your own unique design.

We will explore how to create base templates and grid structures, how to draw the centre of your Mandala and how to gradually grow your design outward using a variety of patterns, shapes and techniques. You will also learn helpful terminology associated with Mandala art alongside practical tips and guidance gathered from over 15 years of personal drawing experience.

During the class I will demonstrate two different methods for creating Mandala grid templates and guide you through a selection of decorative patterns and design techniques. By the end of the session you will complete your own Mandala artwork to take home and keep.

This class focuses on enjoying the creative process, building confidence and developing a mindful and relaxing drawing practice rather than aiming for perfection.

Class price: £50 per person
Includes a basic starter toolkit containing white cardstock, pencil and black fineliner pen to keep and continue creating at home.

You are also welcome to bring along any favourite art supplies or creative tools you enjoy working with.

This introduction class should be completed before moving onto more advanced Mandala classes and workshops, as it provides the essential foundations and techniques needed for future sessions.

Additional materials and tools may also be available to purchase during the class.
