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.
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!
What you'll get in your craft kit
  • A black Sakura Micron 01 pen
  • A pencil
  • A tortillion (smudger)

Knowledge required
No artistic ability is required. It is helpful if you have done the “Learn Zentangle” class but this is not essential. If you can hold a pen and write your name you’ll be just fine!
What you'll need
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).

  • 5/5 from Ella Madden, attended Feb 2022: Lovely class and great way to have time out for myself with a relaxing evening in the middle of a busy week. This class is perfect for all Zentangle abilities, beginners or experienced as we used basic patterns but created an awesome effect to embed the letters. Always love Zentangle classes with Niki!
  • 5/5 from Megan, attended Dec 2021: Love Nikki's classes they are always so interesting & different. Nikki's a great teacher & already got my next class booked. 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.
  • 5/5 from Margaret Holz, attended Dec 2021: Niki is a great teacher who taught me to create lovely tangled letters and provided wonderful ideas for future projects.
  • 5/5 from Saalihah Seedat, attended Nov 2021: Organised a private class for a 50th birthday celebration. Excellent workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.
  • 5/5 from Monika Dryburgh, attended Oct 2021: 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!
  • 5/5 from Susan Tuyau, attended Oct 2021: Easy to follow - showcased lots of basic techniques. Happy to do another virtual class with Niki to learn more about zentangle art.
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Mozayani, attended Oct 2021: Niki is a great teacher. A well paced class giving you the skills to embellish many letters in the future, a great idea for personalised cards.
  • 5/5 from Lesley Diskin, attended Oct 2021: A great intimate class. As a newbie to the art form all my lines looked crooked but I was encouraged to trust and the outcome proved that. Will book another.
  • 5/5 from Jody Clooney, attended Oct 2021: Awesome class. Niki is a great instructor and it is a really fun art to learn
  • 5/5 from Tania Sweatman, attended Aug 2021: 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.
  • 5/5 from Heidi Froelich, attended Aug 2021: A marvelous class again thanks Niki. You teach really well and the class is relaxed and comfortable and easy to follow. Loved the end result.

  • 5/5 from Kirsty Cunnington, attended Apr 2021: Well-paced, clear instructions, modelled work easy to follow. Really enjoyed this class. Bonus points for getting to do the class as sole participant!
  • 5/5 from Anonymized Customer, attended Feb 2021: Fabulous! Came in quite stressed. Left lovely and relaxed. Definitely an excellent healthy stress reliever. Thank you Niki
  • 5/5 from Silvana Scalise, attended Dec 2020: Had a wonderful afternoon with Niki learning such a wonderful new skill. Niki was friendly, attentive and down to earth and I enjoyed every minute of the class.
  • 5/5 from Alena Tsarkova, attended Nov 2020: 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
  • 5/5 from Tegan Webb, attended Nov 2020: 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.
  • 4/5 from Jodie Behn, attended Nov 2020: What a fantastic way to keep creative. Found the materials of excellent quality and prompt delivery. Niki instantly made you feel welcomed and relaxed. Niki presented the Zentangle workshop in a fun and professional style. Enjoyed the Zentangle Workshop and would definitely recommend. Thank you Niki for allowing myself a 2 hour creative escape. Jodie Behn
  • 5/5 from Alicia Wandek, attended Sep 2020: What an enjoyable way to spend mother & son time together during Melbourne lockdown! The kit we received was cute & I have a new mindfulness technique that fits right in my handbag! Thanks Niki & ClassBento.
  • 5/5 from Kerry-Ann Wainwright, attended Sep 2020: Niki is a great teacher. This was my 2nd class with her and I will definitely do more. Her work is very impressive. Nikki goes above and beyond, even contacting me to remind me that the session had started. Thank you Niki.
  • 5/5 from Sally Embury-Thomas, attended Aug 2020: Loved this class, Niki was really patient and very knowledgeable. She showed me lots of techniques and tips I'd never seen before. Highly recommended, particularly for these rainy lockdown days in Melbourne.
  • 5/5 from Lia Harman, attended Aug 2020: 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!

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!
