Join artist Nishi Chaudhary for the second workshop in her Mandala Series.
Patterns are everywhere: in leaves, flowers, shells, branches, waves, and even in the way we naturally make marks and repeat shapes.
In this playful workshop, we’ll explore those patterns through simple watercolor and mixed-media experiments, then use them to create a personal mandala.
Mandalas have long been used as a way to focus, reflect, and bring different elements into balance. Here, we’ll use the circular form as a space for color, rhythm, repetition, and personal expression.
Come explore, experiment, and let your own patterns emerge. Open to all levels, with a finished artwork to take home.
All materials provided.
WHEN: October 4th, 2026, 2-4 PM
PRICE: MEMBER $50 / GENERAL $55 / FAMILY $80 (Registration for 1 adult & 1 child (age 10-17) )
WHERE: Verge Center for the Arts
