How it works


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.
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 activities.
In this live online class, we will further explore Zentangle using white ink on black paper 'tiles'. 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 finish up feeling relaxed and refreshed, as well as having gained some new mindful drawing skills!
What you'll get in your craft kit
  • A white Sakura Gelly Roll pen
  • A pencil
  • A white charcoal pencil
  • A tortillion (smudger)
  • Four regular black paper 'tiles”
  • Four small black Bijou “tiles”
  • A bag
Knowledge required
No artistic ability is required. If you can hold a pen and write your name you’re halfway there! It would be helpful if you had completed the "Learn to Zentangle" class first but it is not vital.
What you'll need
Just yourself and a clear workspace!

  • 5/5 from Micky Driscoll, attended Feb 2025: I always love Nikki's classes. Always learn more and very engaging.thanks again Nikki for your patience.
  • 5/5 from Cathy Sayer, attended Feb 2025: Zentangles with Niki is both zen and tangles. Switching it up with white on black was fantastic. In two hours we created three tiles but never felt rushed. Niki and her classes embody the meaning of zen.
  • 5/5 from Rezwana Bashir, attended Aug 2023: This class was a another great one by Niki! And I can’t wait till her next class I am also grateful for Niki for introducing me to Zentangle -it is such a relaxing method of art and achievable! Thanks again
  • 5/5 from Denny Hudson-Bayliss, attended Mar 2023: Another great class with Niki. Using white pens on black was very different from black pens on white paper, so I found it a challenge. However, after the class I finished and tidied up the tangles and I’m very happy.
  • 5/5 from Elspeth Crosby, attended Mar 2023: Another lovely class with Niki. Using white ink on black gave interesting effects and I will practise more of this. Thanks again Niki
  • 5/5 from Rashmi Totade, attended Mar 2023: i really enjoyed the class. Niki is a very good teacher and took her time to explain in detail. I will definitely would love to learn more.
  • 5/5 from Jodie Amico, attended Dec 2022: I missed this class but all the Zentangle classes with Nikki are amazing! I recently did Christmas Zentangle and loved it!
  • 5/5 from R Ismail, attended Dec 2022: Another great session with Niki. Its a bit different drawing on a black background but Niki always make it fun. Once we did the design on a tile, Niki showed us how and where to do shading to finish it. A relaxing session with a finished product.
  • 5/5 from Megan, attended Feb 2022: Awesome class, love doing something different & it's sooo amazing how stunning a tile can look with just two colours in reverse.
  • 5/5 from Monika Dryburgh, attended Nov 2021: Very relaxing, and I really liked the variation of using black on white and learning to do highlighting with the white charcoal pencil rather than shading as usual. Indy-Rella might be my new favourite tangle!
  • 5/5 from Emily H, attended Oct 2021: LOVED this class! I've done so many classes with Niki and this one really built on my prior knowledge by using new types of pens and paper to play around with. 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!
  • 5/5 from Naomi Luck, attended Oct 2021: This was a great class. Niki's instructions are well paced and easy to follow.
  • 5/5 from Lisa Pulver, attended Oct 2021: I just keep coming back to Nikkis classes. I love them, and I love just spending a short amount of time with others doing the same thing. Cant wait for the next class - rock stacks!
  • 5/5 from Carmen Lipovic, attended Oct 2021: Fantastic class! Can’t wait to do another one soon with some different friends! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Ella Madden, attended Oct 2021: I loved this class! I was hesitant at the start with using white ink on blank paper but by the end I felt much more confident and I am in love with the look of the black Zentangles! Nikki is a wonderful teacher and always makes these sessions so informative but also very relaxing
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Mozayani, attended Oct 2021: Niki is a great teacher. Her instructions are clear and I feel myself building up my skills. I am feeling the zen when I do it. I can’t wait to do more zentangle classes.
  • 5/5 from Megan, attended Aug 2021: Had such an amazing time, Niki is fantastic and explains everything so well. The quality & quantity of the kit is of the best. Thanks for your flexibility. Can't wait to do more classes.
  • 5/5 from Jessica Douglass, attended Aug 2021: I’ve done a few classes with Niki now and I’ve loved every second. This one in particular I was really looking forward to as it’s so different from the others. I love the sense of achievement I get at the end of the class with my own little creation. Thanks Niki
  • 5/5 from Anita Mahoney, attended Nov 2020: I have had a few session with Nikki and have enjoyed them so much. I learn new techniques every time and I am amazed at how good my zen tangles turn out. Nikki is a great teacher!
  • 5/5 from Sophie Rushton, attended Oct 2020: Niki is a terrific teacher and this was a great class. I loved trying out the black tiles and white markers while learning some new tangles!

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I have been tangling for around 14 years and teaching for over 11 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 halfway 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 it 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!
