Niki is friendly and welcoming and accomodating. I really enjoyed learning how to draw Zenbuttons. It is great to be able to do this from the comfort of my own home. This was especially lovely because I got to do it with my mum and sister who live in other cities to me.

The final 3D effect is awesome to look at from all angles and I am obsessed with the finished artwork!
My only suggestions to maximise class time/give students even more patterns to play with later is to start the class with a bunch of fragments on the tiny tiles, then in the second/final part of the class focus on the artwork itself. It would also be great if students could be given the dimensions of the circular tile (I’m personally too obsessed with perfecting baselines), to help them find the centre of the circle for the protractor.
I couldn’t recommend this class more due to how unique the content and artwork is, the way that Niki adapts to student needs and their feedback and how special it is to watch your own drawing transform in real-time!  + more

Great class. I loved the kit with all the blue goodies. It was fun exploring the different blues during the class. I learnt new tangles as always but also used my previous Zentangle experience to build on and of course deepen my Zentangle obsession. Keen to use the blue and white ideas on some more tiles in my own time as it has a really nice look

I loved the way also in this class we were stepped through the process from creating our zigzag lines to the rocks to adding tangles to the shading at the end which really made the rocks come to life. Such a lovely and relaxing evening!  + more

Draw Zentangle® Christmas Art
This was a lovely class. I was a complete beginner to Zentangle, but this was not a problem: by the end, I had created a number of different, great-looking Christmas designs. Niki was excellent at explaining and demonstrating step-by-step what we needed to do to create each piece. The materials provided were a great help too - knowing that you have the correct things you need right from the start is a good confidence booster. Highly recommended!

I signed up for this class after attending one of Niki's free lunchtime classes introducing Zentangle. The class was easy to follow along and I was happy with the result of my first letter. Looking forward to using what I have learnt to create some beautiful personal cards for special occasions. Thanks Niki for a great afternoon - made Sydney's lockdown just a little bit easier this weekend.

I’ve been to a couple of Niki’s workshops and each one is so fun! When she shows an example of a finished piece before we begin, I feel anxious about how detailed it is and think I won’t be able to do it. But with slow, patient, clear instructions, Niki can get anyone to achieve the end result. Thanks, Niki!

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.
