A mandala is a spiritual symbol that represents the universe, a microcosm, or a person’s spiritual journey. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit and means “circle.” A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols.

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be used to focus the attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shinto, it is used as a map representing deities, or, especially in the case of Shinto, paradises, kami, or actual shrines.

While it certainly represents the universe, in the case of creating a mandala art piece, it represents your universe. Can you find yourself in your creation?

Bring your own mandala design that you feel deeply connected to, or choose from the many beautiful designs I will provide. The glass measurements are 16cm in diameter, and include additional  hangings

 

In this workshop, you will be shown all the materials and techniques we are going to use. For this session we will work with metal wires and foils. We will cut the foil to size, and the wire bent and hammered to fit the pattern. We will incorporate different frits (very small chips of crushed coloured glass) to enhance the design. We are going to use a technique called glass fusing, that means that after you have finished decorating your glass piece, it is going to be fired in a kiln so that the glass piece can completely fuse together. It needs to stay in the kiln for around 24 hours from firing to cooling, afterwards the glass piece can be picked up or sent by post. (Sending by post is an additional £5).

 

The stations have all the materials you need to create your glass piece. Bring your own water bottle with you to stay hydrated, tea and coffee is available. Bring a packed lunch, as we will have a break in the middle of the workshop.

If you are interested in booking a space, please signup below. Payment can be made on the day with cash or card. Limited spaces available.

I hope you are ready for an artistic adventure, creating your own special mandala art piece to enhance positive energies around you.
