Hi - I'm Karen - a neurosparkly chronic illness warrior living in Wiltshire with my husband Chris & our rescue cat Shadow.
Due to declining health from years of stress & fibromyalgia, I had to leave work in 2016. The corporate world broke me....
I found solace in creativity, and discovered the deeply absorbing practices of both Dot Mandalas and Block Printing had a significant positive impact on my mental health. At that point I realised that I wanted to share this inner peace with others.
So 'Dots & Blocks' was founded in 2017 - I combine my passion for sharing positivity through creativity with my skills as a former corporate trainer. Hosting absorbing and empowering creative workshops across Wiltshire and beyond.
During lock down I adapted my offerings to include Creativity Kits featuring video tutorials. Thus, enabling others to benefit from the mental health benefits of creativity at a time when they were needed most.
I strive to make creativity more affordable and accessible to all - offering you a choice of in person creative workshops or learn from home options. Plus I offer private bookings to those living within a 1 hour drive of SP4 8BW.
The fully inclusive kits contain materials carefully selected to be accessible to all ages, abilities and neurotypes. Plus I cater for different learning styles by offering full step-by-step written instructions and optional access to a FREE video tutorial.
If you need any help at all with anything, please contact me and I will get back to you.
Meanwhile enjoy this selection of Dot Mandala & Block Printing experiences - and I hope that you discover the inner peace that comes from these slow methodical crafts.
