COFFEE SHOP MANDALAS - FREE
To keep our mandala work going, let's meet at a coffee shop, have coffee or tea together and do mandalas with other mandala making
friends. Bring simple art supplies: small square
sketch books with felt pens or colored pencils.
Anyone can join in, but there will be no instruction. We meet for about an hour or so.
Make an "art date" and schedule one yourself. Several groups have met already and more are wanting to. Let me know if you are interested.
