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.
Zentangle is also a fantastic stress reliever which makes it a unique option for virtual team building activities.

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I have been tangling for about 8 years and teaching for over 5 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 half way 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 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!

One of the best classes because Niki shows you lots of ways to use these tangles in all sorts of things like in cards, envelopes etc, plus it's so pretty & very realistic.

Floral Zentangles are great for there are sooo many to learn & they can all be made easy or harder depending on your skills which Niki is great at catering too.
Great class. I appreciated the steps involved to get to the final bouquet piece. Thanks!

I could not believe how quick the class went. By the end when I look at my work I was so surprised at what I had drawn. Great instructions and felt like I was talking with friends.

This was challenging, but lovely. My individual flowers and my floral tile as a whole definitely improved over the course of the class! I really enjoyed the sunflower.

First time with zentangle. I can see how it would work for relaxation, meditation and mindfulness. The florals were really forgiving and fun to draw patterns. We learned quickly and the teacher was so helpful.

An absolutely lovely and peaceful class. Niki first went through a number of floral tangles with examples of how to produce intricate pictures using them. Next we created a bouquet of flowers using more tangles then finished with a sunflower to do at our own pace.
This class is a beautiful extension on ‘traditional’ Zentangle and has given me the opportunity to use these tangles taught by Niki in different ways (like cards) as well as with other materials (like watercolours).
I’ve had so much fun integrating the sunflower design into my journal and am impressed with the finished product!
I can’t wait to use what Niki’s taught in other ways, and would recommend this class to anyone and everyone (beginner or not), as she is a talented and patient teacher who adapts to what you need and goes through each step simplistically.

Excellent class with Nikki as always. I enjoyed learning the different floral tangles that I could then apply to some tiles after the class, but also was fun creating the two tiles we did together in the class. I always love zentangling with Nikki and look forward to more!

Loved this class. Learnt new Zentangles to create my own floral tribute as well as complete two tiles. I continued after the class and experimented with adding colour with watercolour pencils. A very relaxing afternoon.

Absolutely loved this class - we learnt step-by-step how to draw several different zentangle floral elements, then combined them into a floral bunch. It was a fun and relaxing morning! I have already enrolled in the Christmas zentangle class.

Absolutely loved this class! I’ve nearly done all of Niki’s zentangle classes, all of which have been brilliant. She explains the process so well and makes it easy to follow. Thank you for a great class.
