Mandala Creation Drawing Workshop in the Peak District
Description
Learn the skills and techniques to create your own beautiful mandala — a mindful, creative journey from the first mark to the finished piece. Many people arrive thinking, “I can’t draw” or “I’m not artistic.” But this is where the magic begins. By letting go of the idea of a perfect outcome, you can relax into the process — small, repeated actions that gently draw you into a meditative flow state. Through this focus, your mandala naturally begins to emerge, each one unique in its design and energy. We’ll begin with simple mark-making, shapes, and patterns, and you’ll be amazed at how your mandala unfolds. This is mindfulness in action — a form of meditation through creativity. Even those who think they “can’t meditate” often find themselves effortlessly absorbed in the process. You’ll leave the workshop feeling calm, relaxed, and inspired, with a mandala you’ll be proud to display and the confidence to continue your creative practice at home. Many past participants now use mandala drawing as a gentle tool to support their mental wellbeing.

Maker
My name is Tamsin Cunningham and I graduated in 2002 in the visual arts, and specialised in bespoke contemporary textile art. After 15 years of exhibitions, private commissions and various teaching roles, I was ready to change direction with my work. Having spent some time travelling in India and Indonesia and I became deeply interested in mandalas. I learnt that the repetition, patterns, colours and the geometry were all aspects of mandalas which helped to take the spectator into a meditative space. But, the true power, I discovered, was in the process of creating them. This is where the gift is – the connection with the soul. Through these experiences I started to create mandalas, incorporating sacred geometry and architecture into my new work. I now feel compelled to pass on this practice to other people through creative mandala workshops. What surprises me is that anybody can do it! Even if you think you can’t draw or dot! And it will take you into a meditative place without even trying! Pure magic! All my works are hand drawn and hand painted. They are created using pencil, inks and acrylics.
