Unwind with this calming online beginner Zentangle® class. In our 90 minutes, you’ll learn simple, meditative patterns and create your own finished 'tile' — perfect for beginners who want a gentle creative break.
I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process, and you'll learn a selection of beginner tangles that will introduce you to the amazingly simple creative process that is Zentangle-inspired drawing - accessible to everyone. You’ll finish with a tile you’ll be proud of, plus the confidence to keep drawing whenever you want a moment of calm.
This class is ideal for a cosy evening wind-down, while relaxing with a glass of wine (or hot choc), or why not join me for a Sunday morning coffee break.
What you'll need:
  • Black fineliner pen
  • Lead pencil (HB or B)
  • 9 x 9 cm squares of watercolour or any similar thick paper
  • A tortillon or paper stump (for shading)

What you'll learn:
  • How to build a tile from simple strokes
  • Beginner patterns - 'tangles'

  • How mindful drawing supports calm and focus
  • How to continue your practice at home

Extras: After the class, I'll send you a file with step-outs for each tangle we used, two new tangles to learn, and a couple of tips for easily adding more 'love' (embellishments) to your artwork.

I'm a Certified Zentangle Teacher® (CZT), with many years of experience in university teaching and student support, as well as a professional creative background in animation, including work with Disney.
I love helping people discover their creative abilities, particularly those who have always believed they aren't artistic.
My teaching style is friendly, encouraging and supportive. I demonstrate each step clearly and make sure everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their confidence or experience.
I also hold an NLP Practitioner certification and have a particular interest in creativity, learning and personal development.
For me, the Zentangle process is much more than drawing. It's a wonderfully accessible way to pause, explore creativity and enjoy the satisfaction of making something unique while in a state of focussed relaxation.
