Elev8 ArtsDot Mandala Art Class - June 2026
This dot mandala art class welcomes both newcomers and those with some experience, inviting participants to explore creativity one dot at a time. Work at a comfortable pace in a relaxed, supportive setting while experimenting with color, rhythm, and flow. You will complete a finished mandala during the session with instruction and individualized support throughout. All materials are provided, and everyone leaves with a completed piece. Two project paths are available. Level 1 uses a canvas or magnet and suits those who are new to dot mandalas, prefer clear, guided practice, and are building confidence and precision with tools and patterns. Level 2 features a star ornament for participants who are comfortable with basic dotting techniques, understand spacing and repetition, and are ready for more detail and complexity. If you are unsure which to choose, Level 1 is suitable for getting started, while Level 2 offers a bit more challenge.
