What you'll do

Ready to try something different with Zentangle? In this live online class, you'll learn how to create Zentangle's version of 'Dingbats', the typographical/typesetting ornaments and decorations that are used in printing.

Dingbatz are a fun way to decorate and embellish anything from cards and envelopes to headings and quotations, and so much more!

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 team building.

Remember, there are no mistakes in Zentangle so you can't get it wrong!

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!

I love love love the Zentangle dingbatz! So fun. Quite different to traditional Zentangle which was exciting to try new things. I’m so inspired to use them for my journal, scrapbooking and card making. So much you can do with this and I’ve already started exploring more dingbatz outside of the class. I recommend this as an extension to your Zentangle journey and to spice things up a bit and add some more interest to your art

Such a wonderful small sized class! Went through some beautiful ‘dingbatz’ that I’ll easily use as frames and headers for future crafts!
Niki showed us so so many examples to use as inspiration too!

Thanks to Niki as always. I appreciated all the little details and options for things as simple as borders and ornaments in corners and choosing to leave some spaces blank. (And after several days of practicing Henna Drum last year, I can finally draw it! )
