About Us
The Zentangle Method of drawing
The Zentangle method of drawing was founded by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts in the United States. It is a mindful technique which when practiced as it was originally intended, can bring a calm meditative state that has been known to temporarily relieve pain, grief and stress. It is a process of total mental immersion where your creation (art) becomes a by -product of this process. No planned outcome, no expectations, just ink, paper and refocusing the mind. Zen being the state of calm and Tangle being the repetitive strokes that make up the abstract design. It is intended that these designs are drawn on small tiles (card stock) so that they are completed in the one sitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Zentangle ® is an easy to learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Anyone that can write their name can create art using this method. As we say, "Anything is possible one stroke at a time".
The Zen is the meditative process experienced by falling into a relaxed state through tuning into our breath while we let our mind focus on the repetitive patterns which we call Tangles.
Whether you join us online or in person you will be provided with a brief history of Zentangle® and be introduced to the basic steps and associated vocabulary and tools used. You will be provided with the basic kit to use and keep after the lesson for practice. Our Introductory lessons are approximately 2 hours long. Intermediate and Advanced classes can run from 1 hour to 6 hours depending on the lesson content.
We draw on beautiful Italian made tiles (cardstock) using archival quality ink that resists fading and is waterproof should you wish to add some watercolour to your tile.
That being said, the process can be used on almost any material using almost any implement but we encourage you to try the official Zentangle® materials. Many years have gone into sourcing the finest paper and ink for the process.
If you choose a class that includes a kit, it will include a pencil, micron black 01, tortillion for shading and several tiles (cardstock). There is no eraser provided as there are no mistakes in Zentangle.
Additional materials are available in our store or from Zentangle Inc in the United States or some registered CZT's (Certified Zentangle Teacher) worldwide.
