Introductions
Following a warm welcome, you will be introduced to your 2 sets of dotting tools. Together we will learn how to create dots, and practice all the techniques on scrap paper. You will have full choice of what colours of paints you'd like to use.
Your Project
Following practice and gaining confidence in creating the dots, you will go on to create 2 greeting cards. But don't worry - the grid is pre printed for you to follow!
Enjoy the Process
Creating your dot mandalas is a calming, almost meditative process. Soon after starting your only concern will be which colour to use next.

Your teacher
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.Karen Dots & Blocks Sharing Positivity Through Creativity
