Zentangle® is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. This fun and relaxing new art form is a return to the lost art of putting pen to paper. You will create wonderful images using the tangles (patterns) that you learn in this class, “one stroke at a time.” More information can be found on this website: www.zentangle.com.

Zentangle® Basics is a 2.5 hour, single-session class.  No art or drawing experience necessary as “Anything is possible one stroke at time”. Each student will learn the basics of the Zentangle process.  They will have the opportunity to learn 6 tangles and complete at least one tile.

It is an addictive and very portable art form that requires little investment in materials; a pencil, pen, and paper is all you need.  All materials, including some official Zentangle® products, will be supplied.

Instructor: Daniele O’Brien is a Graphic Designer and Certified Zentangle® Teacher from Ann Arbor who often visits Northern Michigan. See more of her art at www.dobriendesign.blogspot.com

The basic technique for these quilts is called “stacks of fun.”  It’s easy to work through the steps: cut fabric is stacked and slashed, the stacks are shuffled so that the fabric order in each stack is changed and then the fabrics are sewn back together with narrow strips added for contrast.
