The Sri Yantra is an ancient Hindu design of integration of ourselves with the Cosmos.
Geometry, alongside developing creative drawing skills is a fascinating area of history and pertains to self-transformation. Come along to expand your 'inner awareness'.
Please note: I run a Thursday workshop, at 11:00 am and will be adding an evening session of 7:30-8:30 every other Thursday for members only, plus other bonus workshops included in the membership.
Based in Plymouth, Devon, UK, I run low-cost online classes. Join me in learning these traditional skills to bring your creative visions to life, relax, meditate on your creative work and make your dedicated sketchbook or home space truly unique.
Contact me to book direct and choose to pay by PayPal or Bacs, saving you money on Eventbrite fees. Thursday sessions are suitable for those still starting on the geometric journey or with some experience, preparing you to feel confident enough to attend advanced training with other providers, such as Adam Williams or to purchase books on advanced geometry art, such as those written by Keith Critchlow. You will receive the Zoom link once you have booked.
Or, join Global Centre of Islamic Art for a monthly fee of £27.99 with two professional advance teacher workshops per month. However, if this is too much of a financial commitment at this time, my workshops might be a better option for you just to see if this is the direction you would like to go toward. I myself have been trained by some of the advanced tutors as part of GCIA and have nothing but high praise for their commitment to sharing Islamic Design.
My workshops are suited for retired persons, who perhaps are less inclined towards too much technology and only want to drop in ad-hoc to classes. I will also adapt sessions to suit different learning styles.
Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an improver wanting to enhance your skills, this monthly event is perfect for you. This is a hands-on interactive workshop where you'll explore various geometric shapes and patterns to create stunning artworks from the grids produced. No prior experience is required - just bring your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn! Become part of a much wider community for whom geometry is a creative and sacred spiritual pastime.
In these workshops, you will learn how to set up and draw the underlying grids which form the basis of many geometric designs. You can choose to attend ad-hoc or more regularly, with promotions available for block bookings.
Sacred Geometry is a lovely, relaxing form of drawing. If you have not done this before, you will be guided step by step on how to produce different designs.
Using your compass, we work with proportion; the compass takes care of the work. The only math skill needed is to be able to read in MM and CM from your ruler initially and to be able to hold your compass to form a circle that ends where it started and set up the radius of your compass. With tuition and regular practice, you will naturally develop all the other skills you need including harmony, symmetry and proportion.
The mindful act of drawing behind Sacred Geometry's intention is to create beautiful and personally meaningful designs. To be both visually stunning and spiritually uplifting.
No prior drawing skills are needed to join the classes. In addition, geometry skills and mandalas as a regular art practice, are proven to support mindfulness and wellbeing, promoting inner harmony and balance. It can be helpful for those with ADHD and its related symptoms such as anxiety which will reduce.
If you are also seeking a way into Geometry math and its knowledge.....
If basic geometry skills development and understanding are of interest because you might want to take an introductory level in maths course, then by default in doing these drawings you will naturally acquire an understanding of identifying angles, symmetry and divisions with added geometry terminology without any stress, calculations or tests involved!
"Designing with inner peace in mind"
I offer expert, step-by-step drawing design skills development within these playfully abstracted architectural, flora and fauna, and architecturally inspired art forms.
Based in Devon, UK, I am dedicated to teaching others how to create stunning and precise designs that incorporate the beauty and symmetry of ancient art forms, imbued with a spiritual element.
You will learn to:
1. Draw culturally diverse mandalas using underlying sacred grid geometry.
2. Develop patience, self-compassion, and a fine eye for detail
4. Become proficient in adding embellishments and working with colour combinations
5. Use your mandala to bring peace and tranquility into yourself and your home
Geometry for Meditation, Mindfulness or Creative Alchemy Practices
Sacred geometry and mandala drawings are always unique to the maker. When you create your visually stunning design you embed your energy.
The hidden aspect of a mandala is that it imparts elements of balance, harmony, and spirituality, while you draw it. it is said that a portrait of you or your inner life is revealed.

Share your learning with your children. Teaching them how to draw mandalas will be bonding for you both and as a bonus, you also get to have creative time!
