Made by You: Mindful Mandala

Made by You: Mindful Mandala is a guided introduction to drawing mandalas from scratch, led by artist and designer Saudamini Madra. In this workshop, you’ll practice a mindfulness and quality of attention that makes work feel steady rather than hurried. You’ll learn about the geometry of the Mandala art form, and using a radial grid to develop patterned sequences from the center out.

The pace of this workshop is deliberate. By drawing outward from a single point and repeating a mark until it becomes familiar, you’ll carry with you a greater sense of quiet the rest of the day. At some point in the session, the marks stop requiring the same effort they did at the start.

This workshop will take place indoors at MAA Nixie in their clubroom. It is best suited for young adults to older adults, ages 14+. Basic use and control over a rule and a protractor is required. All materials are provided.
