Mandala

Taught by Anvita Kulshrestha

About the Workshop

Mandalas are known to be very therapeutic in nature. The process of making a mandala is considered to be art meditation and has very calming effects. Join us for a session to unwind and relax with this therapeutic artform. You will be making ornate designs with intricate patterns that will come to life with vibrant colors. For any queries/questions about the artform, feel free to email Anvita at anvita.kulshrestha@duke.edu.
