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.

  • Black fineliner pen
  • Lead pencil (HB or B)
  • 9 x 9 cm squares of watercolour or any similar thick paper

I discovered Zentangle® while looking for a fun, calming way to help uni students reconnect and refocus. They were juggling procrastination, anxiety and overwhelm- like many of us —but Zentangle ended up changing my life. It's helping me let go of perfectionism and procrastination; I can draw without judgement, and I love the feeling I get when I see what I have created.
I literally cannot stop drawing (as all my friends and family will attest), so now I’m a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT)®, and with a background in teaching, animation and student support, I love showing people what happens when you slow down, breathe and take things one stroke at a time.
If you think you “can’t even draw a straight line”? Perfect. You don’t need to.
My classes are relaxed, friendly and designed to support wellbeing and connection while you learn simple patterns and create something uniquely yours.
