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!

Had a terrific first lesson with Niki. She explained Zentangle generally and was very skilled and patient at explaining and demonstrating the process and how to draw Tangles. 2 hours online flew by. I was really pleased with my first effort and I will definitely enrol in another course to learn more once I have put in some practice

Niki gives clear instructions and shares her step outs for the tangles used to create this Zentangle artwork. I had fun creating my butterflies and bugs and learnt a couple new tangles.

I love when you learn tangles. that they are broken down, then shown each individual tangle, then how to join them together to create a larger tangle picture as well as what each tangle is called & who invented them.

This is a relaxing way to unwind and have fun with new and old Zentangles.

I love using zentangle patterns to create interesting illustrations with Niki and this class did not disappoint.

Niki will get you started, then on your own you have the time and space to complete a frame worthy piece of art. I cannot believe my final result after spending a few hours sitting and working on this project.

Thanks Niki and I look forward to future classes with you soon.

Thanks for observing the 2min silence and teaching us the ‘Rosemary’ tangle to mark Remembrance Day.

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.

Love Niki's newest class a lot, it's so totally different from all her other classes. It's heaps of fun & useful cos at the end you have real decorations that you can use. Once learnt you can make as many more decorations as you like using any kind of tangles, colours etc. Putting it together is easy but a little fiddly, so little kids might need help. A great family activity as everyone can either make their own decorations or do part of a whole. Excited to see what Niki comes up with next.

I’m loving these zentangle classes with Niki. She clearly explains each step and provides time to let you practice before attempting on the tile.

Today allowed opportunities to experiment with curved patterns and different colours using ink and colour pencil.

A challenging class- which is good to improve skill. Happy with the outcome of both tiles. Thanks for a relaxing Sunday afternoon class.

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.

It's very hard to see my work because the bright pens I used ended up being much darker than expected on the paper and also became slightly raised so it can actually be felt which is rather cool. Whether it work or not, it's great fun trying out different types of pens.

A lovely class combining 2 things I love - watercolour and Zentangle. Loved the idea of putting the paint on the plastic first then smooshing it onto the tile (even though I found it a bit hard to get the hang of at first!) The ‘map’ tangling has such a cool look.

This class was awesome. Loved the Zentangle + crafty Christmas vibes combined. Niki gave us 20 small circles to tangle on and instructions to stick them together to make a beautiful decoration. She went through a bunch of tangles for us to use on the circles, and she gave us plenty more tangles and instructions to make another decoration out of square (bijou) tiles (though I didn’t get up to that yet but can’t wait to do it later!) I am keen to make a bunch more decorations, it will definitely keep me busy for a while

The way the berries ‘pop’ is gorgeous and like all her classes I was so relaxed afterwards

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

Oh how much I loved this class

I loved how Niki took us through stages where each time I was proud of my work, then she would show us the next step and was blown away with how much more beautiful the artwork was!

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!

I really enjoyed this class because it was such a unique take on using Zentangle! The use of colour with white charcoal was new and challenging for me but with practice and the skills Niki gave me I’m found to be able to create new artworks with these foundations from the class.

I’m not sure if the produced artwork will be a gift or be hung on the wall, but no matter any skill level you leave this class with something beautiful!

As always, I appreciate that Niki shares the names of the patterns, what they look like when they’re finished (and different applications and options for details) as well as showing us how to draw them step-by-step.

Knowing that Niki will happily slow down or demonstrate something again if I missed something the first time really takes the pressure off.

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Niki provided lots of clear instructions breaking down each step and she allowed plenty of time for them to be completed. I never felt rushed or pressured to move on quickly which made the class very relaxing. For a beginner I’m very pleased with what I achieved. Thank you Niki and I look forward to do another of your classes soon.

This class is for everyone & even if you completely stuff up like me, it still looks really good when finished, you just tell others it's suppose to look like that.

Lovely class! We did two beautiful botanical tiles, both really relaxing to do and had beautiful outcomes. Always love learning all the new tangles to add to my bank as well as creating gorgeous Zentangle art. I love drawing Zentangle as a way to try and go against my perfectionism and just go with the flow and not worry about mistakes.

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

This was an awesome class. I love that every single one of Niki’s classes I come out with beautiful art that I’m proud of. The stacked rocks was a particularly interesting and enjoyable type of Zentangle art. I liked that I could draw on my previous Zentangle skills in this class but the way Niki walks you through everything each time is a great refresher and means you don’t need to have any prior skills. 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!

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!

The supplied materials in the craft box are excellent quality (love the Gelly Roll gold pen , and appreciated the warning about how long the ink takes to dry!), and Niki answered my (many) questions regarding the details of the materials knowledgeably patiently.

I’m amazed by how good my designs look after just two hours! I’m also, once again, amazed at how quickly two hours went by.

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.

I really enjoyed the class. I’d never done Zentangle before, or taken any kind of art or craft class over Zoom before, but I’m glad I did! I felt welcome and was able to keep up despite my lack of experience and despite not having all the fancy materials. (I signed up a few days before the class and didn’t want to risk my box not arriving in time, so I just made sure I had the right kind of fineliner and the other suggested materials.)

I particularly appreciated Niki’s step-by-step instructions and demonstrations; it was easy to watch and follow what she was doing on her screen. I enjoyed learning about the different patterns and what they would be useful for, and appreciated that Niki wrote out all the names for us — I don’t think I would have been able to spell them correctly if I’d just been going by what I heard!

Niki teaches gorgeous patterns that are broken down and can be replicated or altered in your own time. She is so wonderful and is one of the best teachers I've had on ClassBento.

Zentangle overall is such a relaxing activity to do after this class and can be used in so many ways such as card making and I cannot recommend this class (or any others with Niki) enough!

I’ve attended a few of Niki’s classes and have really loved exploring the zentangle journey. I personally found this class harder than the others because I’m terribly at creating realistic images but it still was fantastic. I’ve actually done this class twice because I wanted to really explore the underwater world themes.

Niki is is an excellent online tutor. She explains the Zentangles step by step & answers everyones questions along the way. I've done quite a few classes with Niki now & I've learnt new things at each session. Zentangles have been a helpful way to distract my mind from the added stress of living through lockdown after lockdown.

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.

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.

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 :-)

The class was a birthday gift, excellent idea, took class with my sister and we have been sending each other our designs back and forth since the class. The style gave me insights into my hand movements when drawing, to let the paper move instead of my arms. Very interesting.

Great class Niki guided us step by step, but still giving us freedom to create our personal artwork.
I was anxious before the class about drawing straight with a pen, as I get nervous about making mistakes and then hating the artwork. But during this class, that anxiety just went away and I was in such a zone creating the zen patterns.
HIGHLY recommend this class!
Thanks Niki

Thanks, Nikki! Initially I was overwhelmed by the patterns Nikki was showing, as they seemed so complicated and elaborate. But with step by step instructions and lots of reassurance, we were all able to produce an amazingly detailed tile! I'm keen to keep practicing, and very keen to try the other classes Nikki runs.

Loved the Zentangle buttons class today. Understanding the shading effect to give perspective and hilighting though use of crayon. Look forward to more classes. Nikki was fun and informative as usual. Small class size was a bonus.

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. :)

It's our company's 11th birthday today. Our team would normally come together to celebrate, but due to Covid we were spread across 3 states and wanted to do something as a team that would allow us to relax, spend time together mindfully and create something lovely. Niki ran a wonderful Zentangle session for us on Zoom; she explained the processes well, was patient with those of us who were not quite so good at drawing straight lines! And showed us many different patterns and methods that we are all excited to go away and use. Highly recommended team activity!

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.
