Children's Workshop: Illustrated Botanical Mandalas 5+ | SEPPELTSFIELD

Children's Workshops at JamFactory Seppeltsfield

Dive into the mindful drawing practice of botanical mandalas, experimenting with composition through three-dimensional arrangements before transforming these to illustrated artworks. Suitable for children aged 5 years and over, participants will arrange a mandala of fresh flowers and garden ephemera; using this as inspiration to create a pen drawing to be brought to life with watercolour. 

This workshop is suitable for children aged 5 years and over (guardians and caregivers are also welcome to book in and participate). All tools and materials will be supplied; students will go home with their own botanical art work on quality watercolour paper.
