Prerequisites for Organic Garden Tangle Class

Prerequisites are both Basics and Beyond Basics classes.  Organic Garden Tangles requires more independence, that is, more experience tangling than other classes.

First meetings of the Organic Garden Tangles classes are May 6 and May 8.


What should you do if you have completed only one or neither prerequisiste?

       Both prerequisites are offered twice;

                             Thurs. May 1:  Basics  9-11:30 .a.m.
                                                    Beyond Basics  1-3:30 p.m.

                              Sat. May 10:   Basics  9-11:30 .a.m.
                                                    Beyond Basics  1-3:30 p.m.
                                                                                               
If you choose the second option, you will not have Beyond Basics class until after the first meeting of the Organic Garden Tangles class.  That is OK.  You may register anyway for the Organic class Sequence and should be fine as long as you have completed the Beyond Basics class prior to the second meeting of the Organic Garden Tangles class that meets on either May 27 or May 29.

If my schedule does not meet yours, email me to custom schedule a class.  I will schedule a class for a minimum of three people.

In the third session, you will create a larger piece ( 9 X 12) on toned tan paper, using black and brown Micron pens, white charcoal, and white gel pens.  There will be the possibility to add hints of color through shading.

Participants will be given a list of suggested tangle patterns and tasks to explore between sessions.

Zentangle and CBS Morning Show

I participated in a campaign by tanglers everywhere to get the CBS Sunday Morning News Show to do a segment on Zentangle (See Zentangle blog).    Each person create a Zentangle, tangled a square envelope and sent a note sharing what Zentangle meant to them, and mailed it on April 1.
Here is the tile I sent.
