“ZentangleTM”

Cathi Belcher

ZentangleTM is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns, called ‘tangles’. These are created by drawing combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These basic shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art, and in no time you will be creating amazing images you never thought possible.

Cathi Belcher, a certified ZentangleTM teacher, will show you the basics of ZentangleTM drawing. You will collect pattern inspiration from the outdoor space that surrounds Pinecone Studio. You’ll bring these natural elements into the Studio where Cathi will show you different patterns and shading techniques that will make your images come to life.

Learn how to adapt your ZentangleTM directly onto cards, note paper or home decor. No prior skills are needed.
