How it works


Request your preferred time
We'll send a ClassBento Box to you (a craft kit with what you'll need). Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 2 to 4 business days for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra; 4 to 9 days elsewhere. We ship nationwide.
Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.
In this live online class, you will learn how to draw and shade these gorgeous circular creations using Zentangle® patterns.
In this live streaming class, you will learn about "Reticula" (the grids we draw within) and "Fragments" (the small patterns we fill the grids with). Zenbuttons are inspired by Marguerite Samama CZT and are so much fun to play around with!
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn fun and relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structured, repeated patterns. It increases focus and creativity and provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal wellbeing.
Some benefits and uses include relaxation, simple and quick access to mindfulness, and it has been shown to help with insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, self-esteem, panic attacks and improves fine motor skills, relieves stress and is great for virtual team building.
There are no mistakes in Zentangle so you should also finish up feeling relaxed and refreshed!

Recent reviews of Learn to Draw Zentangle® Zenbuttons

  • 5/5 from Rini Ismail, attended Aug 2022: A different perspective with zentangle button. Learnt how to combine the different patterns then shading to add a different dimension to the artwork. Always great to learn from Niki
  • 5/5 from Genevieve Fogarty, attended Jun 2022: Niki is friendly and welcoming and accomodating. I really enjoyed learning how to draw Zenbuttons. It is great to be able to do this from the comfort of my own home. This was especially lovely because I got to do it with my mum and sister who live in other cities to me.
  • 5/5 from Alison Fogarty, attended Jun 2022: Great class. Niki is an engaging teacher and provides clear instruction on the zentangle technique
  • 5/5 from Vicki, attended Mar 2022: Niki is a great teacher and this was an excellent class. Clear instructions, good pace and I just really love Zentangle in general!
  • 5/5 from Monika Dryburgh, attended Mar 2022: This was fantastic as always. I really appreciated that Niki went to the trouble of designing a whole second tile to teach us. I particularly appreciated Niki showing us some of her sources of inspiration as we went along. It was great learning the new tangle patterns, being reminded of familiar ones, and practicing shading to really make those buttons pop!
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Mozayani, attended Feb 2022: Another great class with Niki. This time exploring reticulas and fragments. Loved how each tile can look different depending what fragment in each space.
  • 5/5 from Emily H, attended Jan 2022: Oh how much I loved this class I loved how Niki took us through stages where each time I was proud of my work, then she would show us the next step and was blown away with how much more beautiful the artwork was! The final 3D effect is awesome to look at from all angles and I am obsessed with the finished artwork! My only suggestions to maximise class time/give students even more patterns to play with later is to start the class with a bunch of fragments on the tiny tiles, then in the second/final part of the class focus on the artwork itself. It would also be great if students could be given the dimensions of the circular tile (I’m personally too obsessed with perfecting baselines), to help them find the centre of the circle for the protractor. I couldn’t recommend this class more due to how unique the content and artwork is, the way that Niki adapts to student needs and their feedback and how special it is to watch your own drawing transform in real-time!
  • 5/5 from Megan, attended Jan 2022: This class was brilliant, even managed to get the shading right for the first time ever thanks to Niki's great tuition.
  • 5/5 from Ella Madden, attended Jan 2022: This was a great class. Loved learning about the fragments to put in our zendala - after spending so much time on regular tangle patterns in previous classes, it was awesome to expand my Zentangle skills this way. The button effect is so cool too. Thanks Niki for another lovely class
  • 5/5 from Monika Dryburgh, attended Jan 2022: Really appreciate having something pleasant and relaxing to be absorbed in for two hours; an excellent break from the stresses of pandemic life. As always, I appreciate that Niki shares the names of the patterns, what they look like when they’re finished (and different applications and options for details) as well as showing us how to draw them step-by-step. Knowing that Niki will happily slow down or demonstrate something again if I missed something the first time really takes the pressure off.
  • 5/5 from Alanah Kazlauskas, attended Feb 2021: A relaxing way to spend a few hours exploring new and extending old Zentangle techniques. Thanks Niki.
  • 5/5 from Trish Kennett, attended Nov 2020: The class was a birthday gift, excellent idea, took class with my sister and we have been sending each other our designs back and forth since the class. The style gave me insights into my hand movements when drawing, to let the paper move instead of my arms. Very interesting.
  • 5/5 from Susan Lawrence, attended Nov 2020: Loved the Zentangle buttons class today. Understanding the shading effect to give perspective and hilighting though use of crayon. Look forward to more classes. Nikki was fun and informative as usual. Small class size was a bonus.
  • 4/5 from Susan Tomlin, attended Nov 2020: Again Niki has provided great ideas, clear instructions, great feedback and time to create my own zendala. Many thanks

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I have been tangling for around 14 years and teaching for over 11 years. Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, fun, and relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing repeated structured patterns. No artistic ability is required. If you can hold a pen and write your name, you are halfway there. There are no mistakes in Zentangle, so you can’t get it wrong. Zentangle increases focus and creativity as well as providing simple and quick access to mindfulness. I love sharing my passion for Zentangle. I love it both for the beauty of the artwork itself and the added benefits of relaxation, reducing anxiety, helping with insomnia, helping manage chronic pain... the list goes on!
