What’s it all about?

Exploring the world of lovely flowing patterns, curves, curls and more!  Also expanding your pattern vocabulary and continuing our exploration of this highly addictive art form.

This Creative Meditation art form is a gateway to relaxation, meditation and mindfulness.  Aside from being an enjoyable activity, mindfully doodling with flowing lines will help you achieve that wonderful Zen-like meditative state with benefits for your mental and physical well-being.

It is easy, fun and portable – so put down the yoga mat and pick up a pen instead!

Anyone can do it with no artistic talent needed.  All you need is a desire to try something new and fun!

Warning: Side effects can include outbursts of spontaneous creativity with associated smiling, growing sense of tranquillity and a burgeoning passion for fine pens and papers!

What will we cover?

Be guided through the creation of several more complex patterns, primarily how to work with curls and flowing patterns, how to create them, then play with and bend them.

What will you need?

  • Paper
  • Your favourite pens – ideally a fine liner
  • A pencil (just in case)

Who will be teaching?

Artist Marloes Bakker-Marsden teaches a variety of mediums at community centres, retirement communities and other locations, including in her own studio space, sharing her skills and passions with others in a light hearted and fun way that makes the experience totally enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. Ask her why the Doodling for Relaxation workshops are her favourite and she will wax lyrical on the many benefits of this delightful art form, which include improved concentration, fine motor skills and increased joy levels (and lower blood pressure too).
