SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Back by popular demand, Gallery at the Vault is happy to offer a fun dot-mandala Workshop with Antje Ruppert on Saturday, March 28, from 2-4 p.m.
You will use special dotting tools to create your mandala. Ruppert will introduce the tools and their application, and will provide practice sheets and a series of patterns to try out for the perfect dot placement, namely a sort of half-round, almost bead-like dot, to create a 3D feel.
Once ready, you will be provided with an 8-inch by 8-inch sheet of heavy card stock in a variety of colors, on which the center is already marked for the placement of the first dot. You will be given a strip of six small paint pots, and can choose from a variety of acrylic paints. This is a very meditative and calming creative experience, and absolutely beginner-friendly.
Take your paint pots home for your own creations. Ruppert will explain how tools
can be fabricated from things you have at home, e.g., toothpicks, cotton swabs,
dowels, pencils with erasers, etc.
The cost of the workshop is discounted for gallery members. Register by Wednesday,
March 25.
