MAG at the Farmer’s Market

Mandala Workshop

On June 22, MAG was pleased to have Sandra Fox come and teach us how to make our very own mandalas. We started by learning a lot of geometry, and finished by making some art. The mandala above is based on a trefoil (3 points), while the ones shown below are all based on “the tree [...]

First Day of Paint! Manassas!

May 10, the day of the long-awaited “paint-out” which officially kicked off our 2nd annual “Paint! Manassas.” Alas, the weather did not favor us; damp and windy.
