The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images using simple, structured patterns called “tangles.”  In this workshop, you’ll learn how to turn simple lines, dots, and curves into intricate, eye-catching designs—no drawing experience needed! Zentangle is all about the process, not perfection, so there’s no pressure and no “wrong” way to create.  We’ll walk step-by-step through the basics, including creating patterns, building layers, and adding shading for depth. Along the way, you’ll find yourself relaxing into the rhythm of drawing and enjoying a creative break from the busyness of everyday life. Come as you are—whether you’re a total beginner or just looking for a new creative outlet. You’ll leave with a finished piece, new skills, and a sense of calm (plus the confidence to keep tangling on your own!). Most importantly, this is a space to create, connect, and be part of a welcoming, creative community.
