Dot Mandalas on Pottery Workshop

In Buddhist culture, mandalas are said to transmit positive energy to the environment and to the people who view them. They are believed to affect purification and healing, and to achieve a sense of oneness with the universe. We will be painting our mandalas with ceramic glazes on a piece of pottery after learning the relatively easy methods of creating dots. Your glazed plate will be fired in Manchester Arts Studio’s kiln and will be ready to be picked up in a week. No ceramics or painting experience needed. Stacy will demonstrate how to make perfect symmetrical dots of all sizes.   The $45 registration fee includes all materials.   Instructor: Stacy Gates is an artist, craftsperson, and arts educator. She is the owner of Manchester Arts Studio & Gallery and has been teaching art classes, camps, and workshops in the area for nearly 20 years. As an artist, Stacy works in a variety of mediums as she is most fascinated by color, texture, and pattern. She is most passionate though about helping others find or rekindle their creativity through both art and working with their hands.   This workshop will take place on Saturday, June 29 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Manchester Arts Studio & Gallery.
