Zentangle: The Art of Calm Lines

Create beautiful art one peaceful pattern at a time.

Discover Zentangle, a calming drawing method that transforms simple, repeated patterns into detailed works of art. No artistic experience is required. Anyone who can hold a pen can participate.

Over four Friday mornings, you will learn the foundations of Zentangle, build a personal collection of patterns, and combine them into finished artwork. Each class offers a welcoming opportunity to slow down, focus on the rhythm of the pen, and enjoy creating alongside others.
