2025-04-10 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | these 4 walls gallery, 22 Front St, Trenton, Ontario, K8V 6C5, Canada
Creative Layers: Alcohol Ink, Stencils & Mandala Art Workshop on Canvas
with Mixed Media Artist Brandy Calvert Ringelmann & Mandala Artist Jodi Stonehouse
Join us for a two-part immersive journey into mixed media art!
Discover the vibrant interplay between fluid alcohol inks and the meditative practice of mandala painting. This collaborative workshop will guide you through the creation of a unique 12×12″ canvas artwork using dynamic techniques and intentional design in the colours of your choosing.
Part 1 – Abstract Foundations with Alcohol Ink & Stencils
Led by mixed media artist Brandy Calvert Ringelmann, this session will explore the expressive nature of alcohol inks. Learn how to manipulate the fluid medium with stencils, layering translucent washes and textures to create a luminous abstract background. Brandy will share her techniques for building depth, colour flow, and composition — setting the stage for your mandala design.
Part 2 – Mandala Design & Embellishment
Step into the world of sacred geometry with Jodi Stonehouse, as she guides you in designing and painting a mandala pattern directly onto your abstract background. Using fine dot tools, you’ll learn to map out symmetrical designs while embracing the intuitive process of mindful repetition. Jodi will share tips for adding intricate details and personal symbolism to your final piece.
Kitchen and Bar are available to order food and drink if you choose.

Toronto-based music organisation Labyrinth Ontario presents Araz Salek, Canan Sezgin Geylan and Yahya Geylan at The Kafana! With Araz on the tar, he joins husband-wife duo Canan (vocals and violin) and Yahya (vocals, oud) for an evening of energetic modal music. They bring Turkish and Iranian musical background to Belleville, with influences from the broader contemporary modal music community.
Contemporary modal music takes deeply related sonic traditions from Central, West, and South Asia, and the Mediterranean and forms cross-cultural collaborations. Labyrinth Ontario’s goal is to bring awareness of other musical traditions, and expand musical idioms beyond those confined to a political border. Come learn more about this ever-evolving genre on February 13th at The Kafana!
The Kafana is excited to provide this opportunity for the Belleville community to enjoy the unique experience of modal music here in the Quinte region. In an effort to create accessibility to this music, we have decided NOT to require a ticket purchase for this experience. However, we truly appreciate you contributing within your means, to ensure these fantastic musicians are compensate for the hard work learning this beautifully complicated musical tradition, and traveling to us here in Belleville.
We encourage all those intrigued and interested to join us regardless of financial means, but keep in mind tickets for Labyrinth Nimble shows often range in the $25-30 area. Please contribute generously within your means
All seating is first-come/first-sit
The Kafana bar and kitchen will be open for your snacking and drinking enjoyment during the performance.

He has taught extensively in Iran and Canada, including at the University of Tehran, Shawrak Music School, and the Labyrinth Musical Workshop. As Artistic Director of Labyrinth Ontario, which he co-founded in 2017, he promotes modal music traditions. Araz experiments across genres, with highlights including his solo album Birth and the Toronto/Crete quartet “This Tale of Ours.”
Canan Sezgin Geylan was born in Samsun, Turkey, into a family of musicians. First learning the mandolin, and later the violin, Canan developed her vocal style and technique with her father’s extensive archive of prominent vocal and instrumental masters. In addition to co-hosting the GEYLAN MUSIC YouTube channel, Canan and her husband Yahya Geylan prepared and performed Music From Home to Home concert program and produced the TV program Gönüller Bir Olsun (Let Hearts Unite) for the TRT Music Channel. Canan currently serves as an artist with the Istanbul State Turkish Music Ensemble, operating under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism Directorate of the Presidential Classical Turkish Music Choir.
Born in Izmir, Turkey, Yahya Geylan is a classical music vocalist at TRT Istanbul Radio and conductor of Üsküdar Music Society, Neva Music Ensemble, and ISTUN Ensemble. As a soloist, he has performed in countless concerts internationally; including with the Pera Ensemble at the Festival Sesc de Música de Câmara in Brazil and A Pole in the Palace: Ali Ufki Bey with the Saz-ü Söz ensemble. Yahya is a constant collaborator with his wife, Canan Sezgin Geylan.
