Community Nature
Mandala Making
Workshop
Monday 5 June - 11am
Woodpark Forest, Mountshannon
Free with wristband
Join Mayumi for Community Nature Mandala Making Workshop in Woodpark Forest. We will create a large Mandala (geometric pattern) using natural materials such as flowers, leaves, twigs, pinecones and more. At this workshop, you will learn the geometries you find in nature, how to work with perspectives, natural materials and the elements around us. The outcome will be a surprise for all of us as we do not have premeditated designs. Each creative step is spontaneous. We will decide together what the next layer would be. It is an opportunity to celebrate our connection with nature and togetherness in the community. All ages welcome.
