Mandala-making Workshop with Flo Oy Wong

A mandala is a schematic representation of the cosmos consisting of geometric shapes concentrically organized.
Come join artist Flo Oy Wong in this workshop of exploration, using food to create a non-permanent mandala.
Flo will guide you in a deep breathing practice to access the creative exploration and making of a mandala with rice,
tea leaves, wood ear fungus, dried tofu and other foods.

What people have said about the INSPIRE/ASPIRE workshops:
"(Flo), the time we spent together was exactly what I needed. I believe you also helped the other artists open doors and encouraged them in just the right way to walk through. I noticed that I was learning to let things go, bust the envelope, not follow the rules with little guilt and create art that was for me. These are all concepts I work on processing daily, but don't often take the next step creatively. The breathing exercises helped so much..." – P. W.

"Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. I haven't felt so relaxed and satisfied in such, if not in too long a time. It was wonderful. Nothing like doing art slowly, lovingly, and with like-minded individuals. It was grand!" - N. W.
