Skyline Hills Library Started Their Zentangle Journey Today


Kim (Presidents of Friends of Library at Skyline Hills), attended one of my classes at another library.  She loved Zentangle and brought me and Zentangle to her library to share The Zentangle Method.  Kim is a retired librarian and saw a new, unique art idea for the patrons of this beautiful library.  Who doesn't need to relax, focus and get into a state of well-being - happy place?

Seven students (including three guys - I love it when the guys come, they LOVE Zentangle too) started their Zentangle journey.

Side story:  Last week, Pia, a students at another class, said her husband gets frustrated at art classes they go to.  She wanted to bring him to a Zentangle class and show him this new method of art - no frustration.  She brought Dave to class today, and BINGO - Dave liked it.  It wasn't hard and was relaxing !!.  WARNING COMES WITH CLASS:  Zentangle can be addictive..

I like to call basic or introduction to Zentangle - Zentangle kindergarten.  After your get the basic method under your belt, then you can soar with so many new ideas in the Zentangle world. 

Zentangle can be applied in any media:  quilting, canvas, materials, metal, gourds, great for journaling.  Also has been proven to help with:  depression, anxiety, fear of flying, PTSD, bereavement, chronic medical conditions, cancer therapy, guided art in school, early art development for kids, takes the intimidation out of art.

 Zero art experience necessary.  That's why they call Zentangle a secret gem.  


This is Rick and Maria (the co-founders of Zentangle) project they had CZT's do at one of the seminar classes.










The CZT's (Certified Zentangle Teachers),  always go back to the basic method because it is so simple, so meditative, and relaxing.  No mistakes, no erasers, no rulers.  Zentangle takes the hard out of art by making it easy-to-do yet looks complicated and intricate by drawing structured patterns.  
When will you start your Zentangle journey?  Check out my classes above and find a class near you. 

Thanks Friends of Library at Skyline Hills and thanks Kim for making it happen.
