Zentangle is an easy to learn, relaxing, and fun way of creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. The Zentangle method increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction, and instills a sense of personal well-being. Learn the history and language of the art form and, step-by-step, construct many “tangles” (patterns). Instruction will develop the ability to use the Zentangle method in your daily life, as a meditative art form, a jump start to your creativity, an enhancement to your journal, to incorporate pattern into your other projects, or simply for fun!

Individual assistance is offered to each student in every class, along with enough time to practice.
