What is Zentangle®?
The Zentangle method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over the world, across a wide range of skills, interests, and ages. We believe that life is an art form and that our Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.
About this Class:
“Celtic art… and Celtic knots in particular… has fascinated me since I was a young lass. Celtic knots and spirals decorated the pages of my storybooks about King Arthur and Camelot as well as many of the fairytale books I so loved. I began doodling the two-link pattern (minus the tangles!) shown on the tile pictured when I was about 6 or 7. Is it any wonder that I fell in love with Zentangle, an art form that allows me to imagine myself as a monk of St. Columba’s order, working on the Book of Kells (also pictured), lost in the lines and swirls created by my quill?” -Ellen O’Dunn, CZT
This class should be considered somewhat “Advanced” due to the more complicated nature of one or two of the new tangles we will be learning. While not required, it is highly recommend that students have some prior experience with Zentangle. You will learn several Celtic-inspired tangle patterns and be working with Zentangle Renaissance tiles, all to a peaceful background of beautiful and relaxing Celtic music.
Benefits of a Zentangle Practice:
- Confidence
- Empowerment
- Focus
- Inspiration
- Relaxation
- Increased Awareness
What is a CZT?
A Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) has been trained by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts to guide students in the mindful, meditative practice of the Zentangle method. We will demonstrate the tangle patterns and techniques in a supportive, encouraging, and caring environment. There are no mistakes in Zentangle art. The method can be used to conquer your stress and relax your mind. It has been described as yoga for the brain.
