Workshop Descriptions

Basics Workshop.  No prerequisite.

            This workshop introduces you to Zentangle, an easy to learn, relaxing method of creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.  With Zentangle, "Anything is possible one stroke at a time™."   No drawing experience is necessary; no skills are necessary but the desire to play, explore and create. 

            You will be introduced to the method, learn at least eight tangle patterns, simple shading and enhancements, and create at least two beautiful tiles to take home. 

Beyond Basics A Workshop    

Prerequisite: Basics Workshop or both Z 101 and Z 102.

            This workshop introduces additional tangles, some of which require more concentration, explores shading,and tangleations.  It introduces black tiles.
