Join mindfulness artist Vicky McPherson and add a little handmade sparkle to Christmas as you paint and decorate your own glass bauble using colourful dot mandala techniques.

You'll begin by learning the fundamentals of dot painting, with demonstrations and time to practise the techniques before starting on your bauble. Explore how to create different-sized dots and build them into repeating patterns and mandala-inspired designs.

Once you're feeling confident, you'll begin painting your glass Christmas bauble. You'll choose your colours and gradually build up your design, layering patterns and details to create a decoration that is completely unique to you. Add sparkling gems for the finishing touches and a little extra festive shimmer.

You'll be guided through each stage of the process, with demonstrations, ideas and individual help available throughout. No previous painting or dotting experience is needed, making this a relaxed and accessible introduction to the technique.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have learnt a range of dot painting techniques and created your own beautifully decorated glass Christmas bauble to take home. Hang it on your own tree or give it as a unique handmade Christmas gift.

Perfect for beginners and improvers, whether you come along on your own or make an occasion of it with friends. All materials are provided – just bring your enthusiasm and enjoy some festive creative time.
