In this live online class, we will use Zentangle “tangles” (patterns) and techniques to hand draw and then embellish letters of the alphabet. These make beautiful personalised artworks for yourself or a gift for someone else.
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn fun and relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structured, repeated patterns. It increases focus and creativity and provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal wellbeing.
Some benefits and uses include relaxation, simple and quick access to mindfulness, and it has been shown to help with insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, self-esteem, panic attacks and improves fine motor skills, relieves stress, and is great for team building.
There are no mistakes in Zentangle so you will hopefully also finish up this two-hour online class, feeling super relaxed and refreshed!
No artistic ability is required. It is helpful if you have done the “Learn Zentangle” class but this is not essential. If you can hold a pen and write your name you’ll be just fine!
