After an understanding of the sacred art of Mandala making, I will demonstrate different drawing techniques including Zentangle patterns and provide you with examples.

We will start the creating process with a guided meditation, followed by the Mandala making process and students will be encouraged to use zentangle patterns or any form of self expression they wish to create their personal Mandala.

Students will be provided with a pre-drawn circle on a 9”x9” sheet of watercolor paper, pencils, pens and markers.
