Zentangle

How it works

Book or 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.

What you'll do

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.

In this live online class, you will learn a brief history of Zentangle and then we will work through the eight steps of the Zentangle Method. As well as learning the basic terminology and techniques that are used in Zentangle, you will be introduced to several “tangles” (patterns) that you will use to create little pieces of art.

There are no mistakes in Zentangle so you will hopefully also finish up feeling relaxed and refreshed!

5.0 (600)

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I have been tangling for about 10 years and teaching for over 7 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!

Niki was fabulous. Can’t believe how fast the time went. I’ve shown my work to my family and they’re impressed.

Niki was a wonderfully engaging instructor, very knowledgeable, & patient, went through the steps one by one until I understood them, explained the history of Zentangle, & showed me her other examples of the different tangles. I felt very comfortable & relaxed in her class & the speed at which she taught. I will most definitely be coming back to Niki's classes in the near future. If you are interested in Zentangle do yourself a favour & book a class with Niki, you can see the love Niki has for what she is doing & wants to pass her knowledge on, you can't go wrong with Niki. I come away from this class feeling motivated & inspired & I think I've found my next little passion project. Thank you, Niki.

I had a wonderful evening class with Niki who showed us seven different tangles and helping us to produce two wonderful tiles. The class was small with only two participants and at no time was I left unsure of what to do. At the end of the class, I produced two tiles I am very proud of and have found a new meditative practice. This was my first ClassBento class and the first lesson online. Thank you for a great experience. I will be booking into Niki's classes in the future.

Niki was a fabulous teacher, and it was so much fun to get lost in the zentangle zone, that I couldn’t believe it had been 2 hours! The box arrived in good time and felt like a present before the class even started. I really recommend this class. I now feel armed with skills to continue on my own.;

Niki Lawrence's Zentangle class was a very enjoyable introduction in the art. She showed us 3 different designs on the small card and we were able to finish them while online or later. The only thing which would improve the online course would be if she could use a darker pen because the image was a bit faint.

Niki was amazing, and is just so personable. Her passion for Zentangle really just shines through. It was great going through it step by step with her. She gave me the history of Zentangle, taught me some techniques then pointed me in the right direction for further learning and how to top up with supplies.

I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Monday evening.

I can already feel an addiction brewing. After the class my wife looked at my work and wants to give it a go too.

Thank you again Niki for running the class even though it was only me tonight.

Loved my first class and will be doing more. Niki explains and demonstrates clearly and patiently. I can’t believe I’ve created such beautiful designs in so short a time.

I had a great one-on-one class with Niki. I really liked that we worked together with Niki first explaining and then showing what we were to draw and that we then drew together. She was really clear in her instructions and provided lots of helpful advice and tips. I could feel the Zen aspect as it became a relaxed and engrossing 2+ hours. A thoroughly enjoyable class, which I highly recommend. Thanks Niki!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first zentangle workshop and Nikki was great at explaining/demonstrating each step. Also really loved the zentangle kit Nikki sent before the class. Amazing value for money.

Another wonderful class from Niki. Her instructions are clear and easy to understand, and the ladies loved learning how to Zentangle and about the many different designs you can do.
A quote from one of today's participants: "Loved the Zentangle class today, good little skill to use to refocus. Reminded me of how much I loved doodling as a child."
Thanks Niki :-)

That was terrific. Nikki explained everything really clearly and at an easy pace. Demonstrations / excercises were simple for beginners and then Nikki showed us more complex versions of the same thing. Techniques shown were useful and Nikki clearly revised everything after each part of the class. Nice small class - very relaxing and enjoyable. Would do more!

A well-planned class with a clear structure and content. Niki's class is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours of your day, and opens the door to more relaxing drawing time in the future. Friends or family would enjoy doing this together (especially in Melbourne right now), as Niki's teaching style creates an opportunity for people spend some quiet time creating together and as individuals. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills, Niki. :)

This was a lovely way to spend the afternoon doing an intergenerational activity across state borders. Niki has been really responsive from the moment we booked, helping untangle a booking error on my part, and making sure one of our kits was redirected.

This is a really convenient way to learn something new - everything needed was in the kit, and we were really pleased with what we were able to produce in a short time.

Highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The pace was great - slow enough so you could take it all in, and relax with, but fast enough so you could create some beautiful designs. Such a wonderful idea, and a fun class to do with some friends or on your own. The teacher was absolutely excellent and explains herself so well.
