The workshops will use the principles of symmetry, color, and design to build a personal Mandala. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have a completed Mandala to take home. Mandalas are known around the world as the 'sacred circle' and are ancient in concept and have been used for meditation and adorning many gathering places throughout the millennium. Mandalas are a simple and effective way to de-stress and achieve relaxation in our busy lives.

Recycled paper of all types will be used in an adapted form of traditional basket making technique. Old seed catalogs, phonebooks, and used posters are good sources for making hand formed vessels. The paper is folded and glued following an updated age-old coiling technique. Once the piece is shaped and dried, embellishments such as beads or ribbons can be added for a colorful and eco-friendly object d’art.
