Upcoming classes: To Be Announced – register for newsletter to be notified.


This class will give you an introduction to the Zentangle Method. The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. 

It additionally increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being, and is enjoyed all over the world, across a wide range of skills, interests, and ages.

In this fun, introductory class you will be immersed in learning tangle patterns as you create actual Zentangle “tiles” and will leave the class with a clear understanding that, “Anything is possible one stroke at a time.”®


Prerequisites: If you can write your name you can practice the Zentangle method. NO prior artistic or Zentangle experience needed or required.

This introductory class is a prerequisite to any other classes. If you have prior Zentangle experience, please come with a “Beginner’s Mind”, as this is an Introductory class assuming no prior experience.


During this class together, you will learn:

  • history of the Zentangle method
  • the eight Steps of the Zentangle Method
  • how to draw some key “tangles” and techniques
  • how to use a graphite pencil to add shade to your tile
  • And more…

Supplies Needed :

What you will need for the class is listed below:

  • 1 Black Sakura Pigma Micron 01 or PN Pen
  • 1 Graphite Pencil
  • 1 Tortillion or blending stump
  • 3-4   white square artist tiles (3.5″)
  • A blank sheet of scratch paper

Where Can I Find Supplies? :

Amazon: Sakura #50110 Zentangle 12 Pc Set w/ 3.5″ White Tiles (affiliate link*). It includes everything you will need for class. (Approximately $16)

Zentangle HQ: Zentangle Primer Pack Vol 1 – Beginner Zentangle Set ($44 – this also contains the book, Zentangle Primer Vol. 1. Highly recommended!)
