During this fabulous wellbeing workshop, participants will learn the basic techniques of Mehndi drawing and have the opportunity to experience the benefits it offers, including mindfulness, relaxation and creative expression.

Mehndi requires focus, attention to detail and patience, but don’t worry you don’t have to be an artist or good at drawing to take part, if you can doodle then you can do Mehndi.

The morning has been designed with plenty of short breaks so that you won’t find the pace too intense, and as you start to meticulously draw intricate designs, you will find yourself becoming fully immersed in the present, allowing your mind to quieten and your senses to gradually awaken. 

Under Parveen’s guidance you will:
•    Be guided through a tutorial of beginner patterns and how to create a flower design
•    Learn how to incorporate/blend different styles of Mehndi drawing to decorate a hand design and design your own hand on paper
•    Take part in a discussion on Mental Heath and the importance of taking time out for wellbeing
•    Follow up activity – creating a small affirmation card for another member of the group
•    Decorate a ceramic bauble, incorporating Mehndi designs

Half-day Academy workshop tickets include:  
Morning refreshments with luxury biscuits, all equipment and materials including: card, papers, pens and blank ceramic baubles.
Academy workshop tickets also include a Complementary ticket to visit the main show on the same day.  

Important Note: 
This class is suitable for everyone over the age of 16.
