Zentangle® Art: Embedded Letters

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials 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.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

In this live online class, we will use Zentangle “tangles” (patterns) and techniques to hand draw and then embellish letters of the alphabet. These make beautiful personalised artworks for yourself or a gift for someone else.

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.

There are no mistakes in Zentangle so you will hopefully also finish up this two-hour online class, feeling super relaxed and refreshed!

• A black Sakura Micron 01 pen
• A pencil
• A tortillion (smudger)
• 5 paper “tiles”
• Calico bag

If you are ordering the craft box, then all you need is yourself!

If you choose not to order the craft box then you will need a fine tip (01) fine liner pen, preferably archival quality (black or your choice of colour), an HB pencil, several sheets of good quality art/drawing paper and a tortillion (smudger or cotton bud). (Optional - gold or silver gel pen).
 

This Box and Live class is a great indoor activity idea for virtual team building activities at home.

This would also be a nice gift for her or gift for mum.
