It was graduation day for my Saturday morning tribe! They created tiles using Renaissance techniques. I’m so honored that this group allowed me to start them off on their Zentangle adventures. I’m sure I’ll be seeing lots from them in the future! Zentangle drawn on Official tan 3Z tiles using a black and brown, Micron pens. Shading done with graphite pencil.

Last Monday, I wrote a post about my New Zentangle Voyagers class. This is a set of 3 classes that I am teaching at cARTel Studio. The same students are in each class. This week, the students learned about drawing on black tiles. They did a monotangle on a black Bijou tile. The second project was this Crazy Huggins, with tangles in each hug-shape. The third project was a 3-dimensional stand they can use to display a tile on their desk at work or home.
I had such a fun class on Saturday at the cARTel Studio, introducing these ladies to the wonderful world of Zentangle! They all did such a great job on their first tiles, which you can see below. This is the first of a series of three Zentangle classes on consecutive Saturdays. Next week: working on black tiles!
I had a private class with a very artistic, imaginative young lady on Saturday. She wanted to know what the Zentangle method was, so we sat together and I taught the Basic Beginner’s Class. She was so much fun to work with because she is already a gifted artist and has an inherent understanding of things like drawing behind, line weight, shading, and auras! As I was showing her the way we do things in Zentangle, she was showing me how she does similar things. I learned a lot from her, and about her, and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future!
Another Beginner’s class tile #2! A fascinating thing about the Zentangle method is that no matter how many times you draw a particular tile, it will always be slightly different!

This is my Tuesday morning Zentangle meditation class. These people are so wonderful to be with! They love learning, tangling and each other which makes being with them a total joy. This week, they used an “A” shaped string and learned Bales, Ennies, Fescu and Printemps. The two tiles (one unfinished) in the lower right are mine. I love how each of them is not afraid to try whatever variation they think of. They are adventurous spirits who are fearless students!
Another Beginner’s class last Tuesday! I love introducing the Zentangle Method to new students. Their excitement and enthusiasm is so contagious! Tangles: Crescent Moon Florz Hollibaugh Tipple
I taught another Beginner’s Zentangle class yesterday. What a wonderful time we had sharing our drawing and life experiences with each other! Zentangles drawn on Original Zentangle tiles using a black, Micron pen. Shading done with graphite pencil. Tangles: Crescent Moon Hollibaugh Florz Tipple

Monday, July 16, 2018 I taught the first and second Introduction to Zentangle classes at Good Gifts Healing Art Studio . We had eight eager students in the first session. You can see their tiles above, before we did any shading on them. The second session was smaller and more personalized, with two wonderful, attentive students. Below, I’ve added my tile to the mosaic to make it more impactful. I had so much fun with everyone! It was really interesting to listen to each student’s story and find out what brought them to Zentangle and what they plan to do with.
