SUMMARY:Meditative Art Mandalas Workshop (Register by 4/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Stacy Rausch\nDate/Time: Thursday\, April 11\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $20 Supply Fee\nClass size: 5-15 participants\n(Register by midnight on April 6) \nMandalas in progress by Stacy Rausch\nDrawing mandalas can be a type of therapeutic art form and can help well-being and reduce anxiety. The design is usually symmetrical\, radiating from the center of a circle\, which is what you will learn to do in this class. However\, I will also show examples of what else you can do with the basic shapes and structure of the mandala\, or “circle.” \nAfter showing you the basics of how to construct a mandala\, we will spend time going over the primary designs and shapes\, before jumping into drawing your own circular piece of art. \nEach student will receive a basic kit you will take home to continue your meditative art journey. \nNote: The art of the mandala has been around since the 4th century primarily in Tibet\, India\, Nepal\, China and Japan. Buddhists use the mandala as a spiritual and ritual symbol – often creating sand mandalas that are then destroyed in a ceremony. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Monday\, April 22 from 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register in advance) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
