Discover the basic principles of Zentangle®, a meditative art form developed in 2004 by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. This easy-to-learn and relaxing drawing method uses structured patterns—called tangles—made from simple lines, dots, and curves to create beautiful, original designs. After learning several foundational tangles, students will select their favorites to design a unique Zentangle Valentine card using a heart template on greeting card stock. No artistic experience is necessary—just a willingness to slow down and enjoy the creative process. All materials are provided by the instructor. Min age: 16+

Discover the meditative, artistic world of Zentangle® created in 2004 by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. It is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns (tangles). This class will guide you through the process, from a brief history of Zentangle®, through the 8 basic steps of the method, to creating patterns with combinations of lines, dots, and simple curves. Zentangle® art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not on the end result. But the outcome will surprise you! You will have created a beautiful abstract tile. No artistic experience is required. All materials will be provided by the instructor in class and are yours to keep! including an original Zentangle® kit. Ages: 16+
