I really enjoyed this online class. We had a brief history which was fascinating and were then shown step by step how to create a Mandala with hints and tips along the way. I was pleasantly surprised by my efforts as I had no previous experience. Tutor was kind and considerate and I didn't feel rushed at all. I found the notes provided after the class really helpful as I have used them to draw more Mandalas. I highly recommend this class.

Your Teacher

Hello! My name's Kathryn. I'm a writer and artist living on the south coast of England. Having studied a number of different fields over the years, including graphic design, illustration, photography, botany, zoology and psychology, I've had a varied career path. But I've always loved art, drawing and making things.

I've had a fascination with geometric patterns from different cultures for as long as I can remember. At art college, I studied Celtic geometric designs for my thesis. Some years later, following a visit to India, I became interested in mandalas, another form of geometric…

This was an absolutely wonderful class. As total beginners and not technically able artists in any way my partner and I greatly enjoyed it and found the mandala making easy to follow and we're now totally hooked. We're going to be doing more together at home and checking in on other classes and for inspiration -- it's super fun and relaxing and the mandalas look great even at our level ;)

My family really enjoyed this introduction to Mandala drawing. Kathryn gave us a context for the drawings. She is obviously knowledgeable about them. We had a slight sound issue because my husband and I were on separate devices in the same room, we had not anticipated that would be a problem so sorry about that. I was much slower than the rest of the family so did find the pace a little too quick for me but everyone else was fine. I did manage to finish my mandala off after the lesson finished. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to draw mandalas.

I loved the class, such a relaxing activity! The teacher is lovely and I was very happy with my result, it came out really pretty although it was my first try. Very recommended.

Kathryn, was a great teacher . I think we all produced a mandala to be proud of
Sarah - 2 February 2021
I have never done anything like this before but it was fantastic - the course was made simple enough for a beginner to follow and it was great to drift off into a relaxing world of Mandalas. Immediately I finished the course, I treated myself to a proper compass and pens and there is no looking back!

Excellent class. Kathryn was very friendly and accommodating. My whole family took part in an online class and everyone produced a fantastic mandala. Would most definitely recommend.

Kathryn was really flexible with my booking times and this was a really good introduction to Mandalas. I went on to book the Improvers and would book on future sessions to keep this skill up

Very good class but I haven’t received the promised files & the tutor’s contact email doesn’t exist?
Emma - 2 July 2020
Fantastic class. Well worth it. Extra time taken for my 16 yr old daughter. Activity lasted full afternoon as she continued to colour and decorate long after class. What a great way to fill a rainy afternoon ( especially when I am working!) Highly recommend .Many Many thanks 😊

An interesting background into Mandalas, including ideas and inspiration. A really clear guide to forming the Mandala base and key shapes and it was a nice, calming activity too. I have now made a template that I can use for my future ones too. Thank you.

Amanda - 4 May 2020
This was a great class to do online, easy to follow and I felt I really learnt something new. Kathryn included a bit of background which was interesting, and the process of drawing was very accessible - and also easy to develop further if you for those who want to.

Kathryn was an absolute joy as a teacher and she’s really talented and the steps were so easy to follow. I loved my mandala drawing and am going to paint it now.
Amanda - 15 April 2020
Very relaxing class!! Kathryn is very informative and can teach you about the background to mandalas (circles). Make sure you have purchased a compass (basic maths set) and sit back and relax !
