In my sessions, we focus on the prep work and the sealing process so your final piece is durable, water-resistant, and actually easy to clean. ### Understanding the Craft Upcycling is more than just glue and paper. It is about understanding surface preparation and material compatibility. When we work on glass bottles or MDF wood, the goal is to create a professional finish that hides the 'DIY' look. We cover how to prime surfaces using Gesso, how to tear paper for a seamless blend, and how to apply varnish so the final product can withstand dusting and light handling. ### Why Dot Mandala? If you are looking for a meditative break, dot mandala is ideal. It requires no painting experience, just patience and a steady hand. You learn to space your dots, create symmetry, and work with color palettes to build complex patterns. It is a fantastic way to switch off your brain from daily stress. ### What to Expect - **No Materials Required:** I provide everything, from the bottles and wood bases to the brushes, Mod Podge, and acrylic paints. - **Take-Home Results:** You finish your project in a single 2-3 hour session. - **Skill Building:** You learn techniques like wrinkle-free paper application and proper color blending, which you can easily replicate on your own projects at home later. Whether you are coming in for a solo session or bringing a friend, the focus is on the process. We keep the groups small so everyone gets individual help with their specific project. ## About Art Beat Hi, I am Namratha.
