Vicky is brilliantly organised and not only had everything needed for dot painting beautiful notebooks, but a whole host of extra bits and pieces 'just in case' - prepared for every eventuality!

Each step of the process was clearly explained and demonstrated, and repeated when necessary. There were a wide range of paint colours to choose from (and patience while we all dithered). We were a small group which felt really relaxed. All in all, a really lovely way to spend an evening!

I didn't think I'd be any good, but we were led step by step and I went home feeling very proud of my mandala art - and even bought the tools to create more at home. I'd definitely recommend giving it a go

Kitty Davies • Jun 2026

Very enjoyable and well-organised event. All the tools were set out individually and plenty of options for choice of colours. Vicky was welcoming and relaxed, giving clear step-by-step instructions and giving sufficient time for beginners to carry out each step before moving on. We all created a beautiful piece of art and had a relaxing and social mindful evening. Cost was accessible and proportionate. Thank you.

Mandala dot art-stone. Vicky was an attentive and patient teacher, the class was well paced, providing everything you needed to take home a beautiful piece of work. I’m very happy with my first effort-beginner friendly!

Sharon Marshfield • Jun 2026

This was a great workshop. All the materials were provided. Vicky was fabulous at explaining and demonstrating the skills needed and gave plenty of time to practice before starting on our stones. She also gave great guidance about colours to enhance the design. Will be rebooking for another session.

This was the second workshop I’ve attended with Vicky who is a brilliant tutor. These small group workshops are lovely as Vicky is able to keep an eye on everyone so that no one makes a real error. The class is relaxing and fun. Would definitely recommend

Brilliant class! I attended with my mum and we were both complete beginners. Vicky explained each step perfectly and was very patient and encouraging. We were fully engrossed in the mandala dot painting for the full 2 hours and had a great time. We came away with some really beautiful and unique ring dishes. Would highly recommend.

I did a beginners mandala dot painting workshop with a heart-shaped dish. I thought that Vicky, guiding the session, was brilliant. She was patient, explained clearly and demonstrated everything well. I found the session to be really mindful, creative and fun and I'll definitely have another go.

Jenny White • Feb 2026

Really enjoyable experience learning the art of Dot painting with excellent step by step tuition from Vicky, to make a lovely heart shaped dish. Refreshments also provided plus all the items needed to finish your craft work off at home. I took friends as a xmas gift who both enjoyed and also bought a kit to do at home now have learnt the basics skills. I would recommend this class and Vicky as an excellent teacher.

I booked this class as a Christmas present for my daughter. We all enjoyed it immensely.

We all felt really pleased with the results and would highly recommend the class and Vicky.

Really enjoyed this class and am so pleased with the outcome. Vicky was patient and worked at just the right pace. She also took time to help people individually if needed. I will definitely be doing more classes with her.

Geraldine Leavy • Dec 2025

Really enjoyed this relaxed workshop. Lucy explained each part of the process clearly and gave as much or as little help as needed. A good range of colours so everyone ended up with their own unique creation. Would definitely attend again

Lisa McGlennon • Dec 2025

Vicky was a very patient tutor, great at describing how to do quite intricate elements.

Will do more courses with her

Beginners Mandala Art Workshop - Christmas Baubles

This was amazing fun and a great way to unwind on a Friday night. The teacher was extremely supportive and showed us every step with ease and didn’t rush us. It was great to see everyone’s colour combinations around the table.

I have a fantastic time attending a beginners mandala dotting workshop.

We decorated a Christmas bauble. The evening was relaxed and fun. Vicky was a great teacher, explaining each step clearly, offering help if needed and not rushing through. I will definitely be signing up for another workshop!

Carla Francis • Nov 2025

What a fab evening! Loved the christmas dot art workshop, so relaxing and mindful. Came away with a beautiful bauble and perhaps a new addiction! Great way to spend time with someone or for a bit of me time. The class was really well run, all stages explained well with the freedom to add your own touches.

Jenni Wilcox • Sep 2025

Vicky explained really well and came round to check and help if needed.

Great result and will definitely try mandala painting again

Mandala Dot Art Workshop review by Jenni Wilcox - Bristol

Ann Kethro • Sep 2025

Great venue for group sessions. Vicky was able to engage the whole group. As this was an introductory session the concentration levels were high. All the materials were provided and we were able to take some home. Mandela dot art is so effective and relatively easy to perfect - I shall be doing more!

Linda Murray-Liveley • Sep 2025

Beginner’s class which is as very well explained, well provided for & a really lovely relaxing evening. Would recommend to anyone wanting to give it a try. Definitely going to try another class myself.

Maria Shakespeare • Aug 2025

Very enjoyable and relaxing couple of hours. Vicky was very knowledgeable and explained each step with us. She made sure that we were all happy. The venue at the cupcake fashion tea room was lovely. We were all so engrossed with our stone mandalas that time just slipped away and before we knew it, it was time to go. Everyone’s stone mandalas were so beautiful. Looking forward to the next class already. Maria S.

Lindsay • Aug 2025

I attended with my husband, daughter and her friend (both 14). We had a lovely evening. Vicky was a great teacher and very patient, especially when trying to do the grid lines! The stones are beautiful and the fact that you can take them home with your paint means you can finish them at your leisure... I am still tweaking mine 2 days later....overall would absolutely recommend.

Freya Ovenstone • Jul 2025

Vicky was such a friendly and knowledgable teacher. We loved our workshop and wish it could have been longer! The process was super fun and we were all so pleased with our finished products as well. Would highly recommend this class!

Lynne Duffett • Jun 2025

I absolutely loved the mandala dot art workshop. Vicky was very friendly and helpful and explained things simply to us. We all had all the equipment we needed with step by step instructions. At times you couldn't hear a pin drop as we were all concentrating so hard!! Definitely recommend this class.

Marie Pook • Jun 2025

What a great couple of hours! Everything was explained really well & all the kit we needed was provided, the atmosphere was friendly & relaxed, perfect! I've come away understanding the basics of mandala painting & am looking forward to trying it at home.
