Creating Beauty Through Grief: A Mandala Word Art Workshop

Join us at Front Porch Art Gallery for a transformative and heart-nurturing workshop where art becomes a vessel for healing. In this nurturing and supportive space, we’ll embark on a guided journey to discover a word that resonates most deeply with your current season of life — a word that carries your hopes, your healing, or your quiet strength. Through thoughtful reflection and gentle creativity, you’ll craft a stunning mandala-style artwork that holds your word in a secret embrace, hidden within the folds of the paper. Only you will know the word, unless you choose to share it, allowing your art to carry your story in the most sacred and private way.

This workshop is for anyone longing to create from the heart — whether you’re navigating loss, seeking clarity, or simply craving a space to reconnect with yourself. You don’t need to be an artist; you just need to show up as you are and let your hands move with intention. The process is playful and soothing, offering a unique blend of quiet introspection and joyful self expression. You’ll leave with a 12×12 piece of art that reflects your inner world, a gentle reminder of your resilience and the beauty that can bloom from even the most tender parts of life.

Come as you are, and give yourself permission to create without judgment or expectation. This workshop is not about perfection; it’s about freedom. Freedom to feel, to honor your emotions, and to transform them into something visually stunning and deeply meaningful. Whether you choose to display your art or tuck it away as a personal treasure, you’ll walk away with more than just a finished piece — you’ll carry a piece of yourself, lovingly expressed and held within the folds of your creation.
