This image (left) was created using a stencil and a slate heart found in The Works. Dotting and mandalas don't always have to be on circular or round 'canvasses'
Handcrafted hearts, stand not included.
You asked us for heart shaped products for your freestyle dotting, and we heard you.
These handcrafted new products for 2024 come with a hole at the top for you to thread your own string or ribbon or even hand straight onto a suitably sized nail, screw or picture hanging hook.
Please note, these are a trial item, if they are not popular, once they're gone, they're gone.
I have been able to enjoy without stress, I completely switched off from daily stress and strain and thoroughly enjoyed the class. Thanks
I feel encouraged, enabled, proud and relaxed. I am going to share this with my mom, who recently lost my dad.
I felt like I had accomplished something to be proud of.
I really enjoyed it, it really helped take me mind off a traumatic time I’m going through
They have build my confidence, and helped me come out of my comfort zone
I thoroughly enjoyed both days and learnt that concentrating on artwork can help clear your mind, which I hadn't appreciated before. Will definitely use this form of mindfulness in future
Made me feel relaxed and like I'd achieved something. I was excited to come to the second day, and felt proud of myself and my rocks!
[Facilitators were] very knowledgeable and as well as printed handouts, was able to suggest other places to look for ideas for more painting.
I was made to feel welcome and I relaxed into the situation much quicker than I expected. I believe that this will help me to ease my anxieties at home.
Gave me confidence I could create something that didn't have to be perfect.
