Further explore the beautiful mindful Zentangle® art with Zenbuttons!



2 hours Class size 2 to 16     label $55

In this live online class, you will learn how to draw and shade these gorgeous circular creations using Zentangle® patterns.

In this live streaming class, you will learn about "Reticula" (the grids we draw within) and "Fragments" (the small patterns we fill the grids with). Zenbuttons are inspired by Marguerite Samama CZT and are so much fun to play around with!

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 virtual team building.

There are no mistakes in Zentangle so you should also finish up feeling relaxed and refreshed!

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I have been tangling for about 8 years and teaching for over 5 years. Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, fun and relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing repeated structured patterns. No artistic ability is required. If you can hold a pen and write your name you are half way there. There are no mistakes in Zentangle, so you can’t get it wrong. Zentangle increases focus and creativity as well as providing simple and quick access to mindfulness. I love sharing my passion for Zentangle. I love both for the beauty of the artwork itself and the added benefits of relaxation, reducing anxiety, helping with insomnia, helping manage chronic pain, ...... the list goes on!
