Two days built around education, community, and pushing the craft forward.
DAY 01 — LOOK & LEARN + SHOWCASE
We’re kicking things off with an in-depth Look & Learn led by @vublendz and @alexjanzen.barber coming all the way from Germany , breaking down our approach, technique, and thought process behind the work.
Following the education, we’re opening up the floor for a full showcase featuring artists from across California and internationally.
Full lineup TBA.
DAY 02 — HANDS ON
Day two gets personal. An immersive hands-on experience with John & Alex, supported by the Mantra team. We’ll take everything from Day 01 and put it into practice — focusing on technique, intention, and understanding the why behind every decision.
