“Mandalas and Margaritas” will be held on Thursday, June 26 in the classroom at the Vermilion Park Inn, in Soudan. This mandala rock painting class will be led by Diana Magner of Di’s Dots where you will learn the unique art of dot mandala painting. A mandala is a geometric design or pattern, typically circular, that represents the cosmos. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit and means “circle”. Di’s Dots will provide all of the necessary materials, including stones, handouts, paints and dotting tools to use in class. Participants will be guided through the process learning different techniques to create a beautiful dot mandala design on a casted 4 inch stone. The goal is to get you comfortable with the technique, so you can go home and continue painting on your own. Get ready to relax, unwind, and let your creativity flow as you learn in a fun and friendly environment.

In addition to supplies, snacks, margaritas and other beverages will be provided. Tickets are $40 and must be purchased in advance on the LVCC website: vermilionculturalcenter.org. There is room for only 20 people so sign up today. Ages 12 and older may attend. However, youth need to be accompanied by a paid adult. The Vermilion Park is located at 30 Center Street in Soudan.
