Join us for a relaxing evening of creativity as we paint beautiful mandalas (pronounced muhn-duh-luh)—a spiritual and artistic symbol with roots in Hindu and other cultures. Using a paint-by-number style, you’ll create a vibrant, balanced design centered around a focal point. Whether you're into mindful art or just looking to add a colourful touch to your space, this is the perfect way to unwind. Warm tea will be served!
