Throughout the Drepung Loseling monks' Mandala on the Yampa residency in Library Hall, the entire community is invited to participate in a hands-on Community Sand Painting. Chakpurs, the monks' authentic sand painting tools, will be available for everyone to try this ancient art form. A chakpur is a metal funnel with a grated surface, along which the artist runs a metal rod. The vibration causes sand to flow like liquid onto the platform. A team of volunteer docents will be on hand to help the community learn and experience the process.
