Dot by Dot: Mindful Mandala Painting

About this event

November 16 | 6–8 PM Instructor: Claire Gall Ages 15+ | Participants under 18 must attend with an adult

Slow down, settle in, and discover the mesmerizing art of dot mandala painting.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, artist Claire Gall will introduce you to the tools and techniques used to build intricate mandala-inspired designs one dot at a time. You'll learn how to work with dotting tools, experiment with color combinations, create repeating patterns, and use simple techniques to turn individual marks into something beautifully detailed.

There's no need for a perfectly steady hand or previous painting experience. Part of the magic of dot painting is allowing yourself to focus on one small mark at a time and watching the larger piece gradually emerge.

Along the way, you'll have plenty of room to experiment with abstract patterns and make the process your own. Dot painting can be both playful and meditative, offering a chance to quiet some of the mental noise, shift your attention to what's right in front of you, and simply enjoy making.

You'll leave with your own completed dot painting and the foundational skills to continue exploring the technique at home.

All materials are provided. No previous art experience necessary.
