Zentangle
Every Tuesday from 2:00-4:00pm

(may purchase zentangle kits from instructor or bring your own)
Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. Learn to relax (the “ZEN” part) while creating beautiful, repetitive, design work (the “TANGLE” part). You will start by using 3 ½ inch square paper “tiles”. You will learn a variety of “tangles” (patterns) and combine them in your own unique way. IT’s easy to learn, and the best part is that you don’t need to have any drawing skills to do this! Each intricate design is broken down in easy to follow steps that guarantee a successful and unique piece of art.
