Blossom Relaxation Rocks
​
What is Blossom Relaxation Rocks?
Blossom Relaxation Rocks is a mindful creativity project inspired by the calming and joyful practice of mandala pebble painting. Laura-Beth creates hand-poured and hand-painted pebbles and offers relaxed workshops where people can slow down, explore colour, and connect with their creative spirit.
​
When will workshops and the pebble shop launch?
Workshops and the Etsy shop are scheduled to launch in September. This will include regular creative sessions and a growing collection of unique, hand-painted pebbles available for purchase. Sign up for the newsletter or follow on social media to receive the latest news and booking information.
​
Do I need any experience to join a workshop?
No experience is needed! Workshops are designed for all skill levels. The focus is on enjoying the creative process, exploring colours and patterns, and allowing yourself time to relax and be present.
​
What happens in a typical workshop?
Workshops are relaxed and welcoming. You’ll be guided through basic techniques for mandala dot painting but encouraged to explore your own creativity freely. Gentle music plays in the background, creating a calm environment. The goal is to have fun, connect with others, and leave feeling peaceful and proud of what you’ve created.
​
Can I buy pebbles without attending a workshop?
Yes! Once the Etsy shop launches in September, you will be able to browse and purchase hand-painted pebbles online. Each piece is unique and designed to bring a moment of calm and joy into your home or to give as a meaningful gift.
​
Can Blossom Relaxation Rocks come to my event?
Absolutely! Custom workshops can be arranged for children’s parties, family gatherings, retreats, or creative get-togethers with friends. If you’re interested in hosting a session, please get in touch for details and availability.
​
What materials are used to make the pebbles?
The pebbles are hand-poured using a plaster and concrete blend called Herculite 2, providing a solid, smooth base. High-quality acrylic paints are used to create vibrant mandala designs, often applied with dotting tools or brushes.
​
How long does it take to paint a pebble?
Painting a pebble usually takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the design and your own pace. Workshops are typically scheduled for around an hour and a half to allow time for creativity without feeling rushed. However, we can discuss the length of the event when booking it in.
​
Can I gift a workshop experience?
Yes, workshops can make thoughtful and unique gifts. Please contact us to discuss gift vouchers or booking a private session for your loved ones.
