Discover the rich culture of henna. Henna is a dye prepared from the leaves of a henna tree also known as Egyptian Privet. This class uses a natural henna product. Henna is a temporary body art resulting from the staining of the skin from the dyes. After stains reach their peak color, they hold for a few days, then gradually wear off, typically within two to three weeks. Learn the basics of henna tattoos and practice them. The instructor will fill in or finish your henna design and you can take home a henna cone (a henna applicator). All materials are provided. Participants will have a skin test prior to creating their design and a waiver will be required. Our instructor uses only natural henna.

Mandala art has a soothing power that will instantly relax and fascinate you. It's a vibrant and colorful art design using dotting tools to create designs. By the end of class, you will have completed a mandala design on a 12" x 12" canvas that you can take home and display. Bring a $10 supply fee payable to the instructor at the beginning of class.
