SACRED ART
As a fully empowered three dimensional Mandala, Odiyan is home to many traditional and contemporary Buddhist sacred art forms crafted on-site by resident volunteers. The mediums include bronze and other metals, ceramics, concrete, fabric, wood, glass and stone.
We are seeking people with crafting, fabrication or art experience, or hands-on experience in any trade.
If you are physically strong and good at working with your hands we can offer you training in a number of hands-on skills.
