Had a fantastic time at Karen’s beginners Dot Mandala workshop. I am ot an arty person, but managed to create two lovely cards and learn a new skill, which I will definitely be continuing at home. Karen also taught us how this kind of art can help with mindfulness and relaxation, which was really interesting. A really enjoyable morning and have already booked the advanced course. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, relaxing few hours. Dot Mandalas definitely engage your brain in a way other things do not. Karen is an excellent, patient teacher.

This is my second time participating in a workshop run by Karen from Dots & Blocks
The Dot Mandala technique intrigued me and I couldn’t wait to learn how it can help mental challenges.
I found Karen to be very professional and she was able to explain the process very easily. It was a gathering of beautiful souls, and we all enjoyed the process.
I was immediately made to feel at ease and welcome since Karen gave us all the information we needed to know about, why and how to use tools, as well as what not to do in order to ensure that we were well-prepared and could get to work on the projects at hand.
After my very first flawless dot, I was ecstatic. Everyone had a great day, and the atmosphere was really encouraging. My brain instantly went into relax mode, and I enjoyed the experience.
We all made exquisite artwork that we brought home with us. Now that I’m looking at the mandala I made, I’m satisfied that anyone can make something so lovely that speaks to our innermost desires to realign ourselves. I would suggest Karen to everyone because she offers top-notch entertainment and services. Regardless of how distressed you are or whether you’re searching for self-help, her courses go really well. Being around by like-minded individuals, taking time for yourself, and adding laughter and joy to
your life may all be achieved through this wonderful workshop. I felt like it was worth my time when I left the workshop I felt at ease a lot of calmer.
I’m grateful for the time with her. Thank you.

The courses I’ve attended run by the lovely Karen have been wonderful for my Mental health. They were in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by friends (Karen quickly becomes not just a mentor but a friend), calming and you learn valuable skills to create beautiful things.
You don’t want the session to end as you have so much fun and it fills your heart with joy.

Dot Mandala benefited me by totally absorbing me in the craft allowing me to shut out all the all the things that are everyday worries that can fill your headspace. I find it very relaxing and totally absorbing.

We had a fabulous afternoon yesterday creating Dot Mandalas with Karen for my birthday party. She came to my home and gave us a brilliant, fun and creative time.
Even those who were nervous about doing something creative massively enjoyed it and got such a thrill in creating something so beautiful.
I had such a blast and Karen fitted in to the party perfectly. Thank-you for making my party so special!!

I spent a lovely couple of hours completing the beginners Dot Mandala. Karen’s workshop was great! Perfect balance of learning the background of the art and an opportunity to have a go and create something very pretty. Perfectly pitched for a beginner and allows you to gain confidence and want to try the next workshop. Would recommend this if you’re in need of a ‘time out’ of everyday stresses. Thank-you
