Hartlepool Art Gallery

Join us for a gentle, hands-on workshop combining mindful making and creative expression. 

In this session, you’ll learn how to create a Japanese Orihon (concertina) sketchbook using simple paper-folding techniques, working slowly and attentively with the materials. Once your sketchbook is made, we’ll move into a calm creative phase, using drawing and art materials to develop a mandala within the pages. 

This part of the session focuses on repetition, pattern, and presence, allowing the mind to settle as you work. 

No prior experience is needed — this workshop is about process, focus, and enjoyment rather than perfection. 

You’ll leave with a handmade sketchbook and a finished mandala, ready to continue using at home.

Perfect for beginners and those looking for a mindful creative pause.
