Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Amazing - I was searching for my blog, but found instead a poet from Cleveland who had posted this mandala of mine along with a new poem - just yesterday! His name is Don Iannone - go to www.conscious-living.blogspot.com

Connections, rippling out into cyberspace - I feel amazed and humbled at it all.

Classes and Private Instruction

If you'd like to learn how to paint mandalas, private instruction is available at $25/hour. All materials are supplied, except canvas, which I have available for purchase. My studio is in Laguna Hills, California. Please call 949-413-2251 to schedule. I suggest sessions of at least 2-3 hours. (I guarantee it will fly by - it's so much fun!) Bring a friend (up to 4 people total) and each of you will pay only $20/hour.

Paint shy? "Not a creative bone in your body?" All workshops are suitable for absolute beginners. I provide a fun learning environment and a gentle teaching style.

Already know how to paint? Great! Bring your unique style to the mandala form and dive right in!

Current class schedule (2018):

With a few exceptions, all classes are posted and your space needs to be reserved online through Meetup, a free service that connects you to activities, events, and people. You can find the Mandala Visions page here: https://www.meetup.com/MandalaVisions

Small is Beautiful -

Sunday, January 21, 1-4:30 pm

$60, includes materials

-A good way to "get your feet wet" with mandalas and acrylic paint on a 12" canvas panel. You'll learn easy techniques to paint a background, then you'll pick a mandala template to transfer on top. Paint it in, add dimensional paint and maybe some crystals for extra shine. Good class for all ages and experience.

Mini Mandalas - 3X3" Beauties

Friday, January 26 6:30 - 8:30 pm

$40, includes materials

Similar to the "Small is Beautiful" class, but even smaller little beauties! Make up to 4 mandalas by first creating the background, then using a template to lay a mandala on top. Finish with more paint and some fancy touches. These make great gifts and are just the right size for desks and altars.

Want to arrange a workshop for a group or a party? My colored pencil workshop is very portable and not messy - perfect for an afternoon gathering of coloring and talking. Think quilting bee, but with colored pencils on black paper. Everyone will go home with their own 12" square mandala.

$40 per person - 3 hours.

---------------------------------
If you have a group that wants to take a painting workshop together, call me to arrange a date and time. I recommend the Small is Beautiful workshop. I can come to your residence or place of business.

Making art, especially in community, is a powerful and nurturing experience, and is especially helpful in challenging times.

Call 949-413-2251 to reserve your space or email me at charlotte@mandalavisions.com.

May your day be blessed with beauty.
