Dot Mandala Paint a Journal Cover
Join us for a creative session in dot mandala art, where you’ll learn the techniques of this beautiful and meditative painting style. In this class, students will paint the faux leather cover of a lined journal with a decorative mandala—perfect for inspiring you while you work toward your New Year’s resolution to keep a daily journal! No prior experience is needed. We’ll guide you step by step through the process, from tool selection and paint application to color placement and pattern creation. By the end of the class, you’ll have a journal with a beautiful hand-painted mandala and the skills to continue dot mandala painting on your own.

Mixed Media Embroidery
Mixed media embroidery is an art form that combines traditional embroidery with a variety of other materials, techniques, and artistic media, such as fabric, paint, collage, beads, and even non-traditional objects, to create unique textures, visual interest, and dimension. This technique allows artists to move beyond conventional embroidery by integrating different fabrics, threads, and found objects to express personal stories and break boundaries, offering a broad spectrum of creative possibilities. In this class we will make one piece together as a group and then you are welcome to use supplies to create your own additional design if there is time. Students who have to withdraw must do so at least one week prior to the start of the course for a full refund.
