Updated art pieces
In 2024, we started trialling the use of all disks, bottom row, instead of the art stones, top row. This worked so well that no one selects the art stones any longer. Therefore, we are not offering the art stones or the practice pucks as part of the classes. Art stones and pucks are still available but from the Friends of Taff Rocks shop.
For your final pieces you now have a choice of any two of the following:
175mm disk
120mm disk
100mm disk
These are slimmer products that can be hung on the wall to display or can be placed on a small display stand.
Tucked in a corner of our home base at Smyrna you will find the FoTR Pop-up shop, where the sale of items directly benefit Taff Rocks and our community.
The Friends of Taff Rocks are a group of volunteers who fundraise for us with the sale of pieces and tools to help and support with your creations.
For Mandalas, the following are available in the shop, subject to availability:
All sizes of disks mentioned above, finished (black) and unfinished.
Art stones and practice pucks, these were once offered for classes.
Tools and stencils, plus full kits and lazy Susan / turntables.
Paint conditioner
And more.
