Espressoly 4 You - Erin Ridley

WELCOME!
Create. Connect. Dot.

I’m Erin Ridley — the dot mandala artist behind Espressoly 4 You. I’m passionate about sharing the calm, joy, and creativity that dotting brings. Whether you’re brand new or deeply experienced, you’re welcome here.

My Dotting Journey

I fell in love with dotting in 2018. During a classic Pinterest rabbit hole, I stumbled across an ornament covered in dotted patterns. It wasn’t a mandala, but the swirling dots were so beautiful that they stopped me in my tracks. Then I saw a dotted stone — and that was it. I knew I wanted to teach people how to dot, even before I fully understood it myself.

 

I jumped in with both feet, learned everything I could, and taught my first dotting class in August 2018. I’ve been hooked ever since.

Today, I teach exclusively online through Patreon. There are over 100 video tutorials available as replays, with new ones added every week. You’ll also find 90+ color palettes and 20+ discount codes from some of our favorite dotting creators.

​I design dotting patterns that anyone — brand new or experienced — can follow to recreate beautiful dot art. On Etsy, you’ll find 80+ patterns, my handmade needle tool, and a variety of embellishments perfect for mandalas.


Sharing this art and building a creative, supportive community has become one of my greatest joys.  Click the links below to explore Patreon or Etsy and dive deeper into the world of dotting.
