A Thought to Set the Tone

We’ll begin with a simple thought or quote to help you slow down, switch gears and ease into some creative time.


Get to Know the Tools

Get to Know the Tools

Your teacher will show you how the dotting tools work, how to build the pattern, and help you choose a colour palette for your piece.


Paint Your Mandala

Then we’ll start from the centre and build the mandala one dot at a time. You’ll be guided throughout, but there’s still plenty of room to make it feel like yours.


Take It Home

Take It Home

At the end, you’ll leave with your finished canvas and mini easel and hopefully the confidence to pick up the tools and try it again at home.


Dot mandala painting is simple, colourful and surprisingly absorbing. You start in the centre, build the pattern one dot at a time and somehow two hours disappear.
In this small-group workshop, you’ll use acrylic paints and dotting tools to create your own mandala on canvas. No experience is needed—just a willingness to play with colour and pattern and see where the dots take you.
You’ll be guided through the process, with plenty of room to choose your own colours and make the piece your own. The focus is less on making “perfect art” and more on enjoying the process, having a chat, and spending a couple of hours doing something creative with your hands.
You’ll leave with your finished mandala and mini easel, plus a simple technique you can come back to at home whenever you feel like making a little space for creativity again.
What you'll get
  • All materials and tools to create your dot mandala
  • A 10 cm x 10 cm canvas and mini easel to take home
  • Acrylic paints and dotting tools to use during the workshop
  • Step-by-step guidance throughout the session
  • A simple dot painting technique you can try again at home
Knowledge required
None at all. If you can make a dot, you can make a mandala. We'll guide you through the rest.
What to bring
Nothing but yourself and a willingness to get a little dot-obsessed.

FAQ

Is the workshop suitable for kids?
Older kids are welcome with parental guidance. The dotting technique is simple to learn, although it does require some patience and concentration.
Will everyone make the same mandala?
We’ll work from a guided pattern, but you’ll choose your own colours and can make small changes along the way. They rarely end up looking exactly the same.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. It’s a small-group workshop, so coming solo is completely normal — and usually doesn’t feel solo for very long.

What will I take home?
Your finished 10 cm x 10 cm dot mandala canvas, a mini easel to display it on, and hopefully the feeling of two hours well spent.
Is it messy?
Not particularly — dot painting is much more controlled than most painting classes. That said, acrylic paint and favourite white shirts are not always the best combination.
Do you offer private group bookings?
Yes. Private group bookings are available for team get-togethers, groups of friends and family groups. Get in touch to discuss your preferred date and group size.

Hi, I’m Neha.
I’ve always been someone who finds her way back to art and craft. Sometimes it’s painting, sometimes picking up a new craft, but I’ve always enjoyed having something creative in my life.
What I love most about art is not just the finished piece. It’s the colour, the process, the little surprises, and simply having some time to create.
I also enjoy meeting people who are curious about art, whether they’ve always been creative or are just trying something new. One of my favourite things is hearing from someone after a workshop that they’ve gone home wanting to buy art supplies, started painting again after years, or discovered a new creative interest. Those little messages genuinely make me very happy.
Colours & Smiles is my little way of encouraging more people to enjoy being creative and bring a bit more colour into everyday life.
