The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.  It increases focus and creativity, and provides artistic satisfaction, along with an increased sense of well-being. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over the world, across a wide range of skills, interests, and ages.

This class will provide beginners with a background in the history of Zentangle, introduce the eight basic steps of the method, and provide exposure to associated vocabulary and tools used.  Students will be immersed in creating actual Zentangle tiles and leave with a clear understanding that “Anything is possible…one stroke at a time.” In addition, students will be introduced to “string theory” and how to create a basic string.

All students will receive a mini Zentangle kit, which includes a Black Pigma Micron 01, mini graphite pencil, tortillion, 5 original 3 ½” square Zentangle® tiles, and muslin bag.

Students 10 – 16 years old
