Zentangle Basics with Suzanne this Saturday July 27th - Sign up today

Saturday, July 27, 2013 • 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
 
Zentangle®, the creation of Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, is an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. Creating a Zentangle is an easy to understand process of simple deliberate strokes, which build on each other in beautiful, mesmerizing and surprising ways.
Anyone can create a Zentangle – artists and those convinced they are not an artist. If you can pick up the pen you can make a beautiful piece the very first time. People who are sure they are not "creative, artistic, or talented" are always delighted and surprised to see what they can create.
Once you have the basics of Zentangle it's an easy next step to exploring additional artistic applications – paper crafts, muti media, fiber arts, textiles – the possibilities are endless, one stroke at a time.
The Zentangle Basics class includes an introduction to the materials used, a guided practice in designing and creating unique Zentangle tiles, and instructions for eight basic tangle patterns.
Please join Suzanne Wilka, Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) for this introductory class in the Art of Zentangle. Your class fee includes a Starter Kit of items needed to learn this exciting and fun new art form.
Additional information is available at Suzanne's blog and the Zentangle website.
$35. Includes all class materials

You will get to make two little designer boxes. One using watercolors and the other using designed printed paper.

Embellishments will vary also and there will be lots to choose from. Sharon will be bringing embossing folders to choose from so there can be impressed images to add to the look of the mini box.
What to bring to class: scissors, quick dry glue is a must (tape runner will not hold), glue dots and pop dots.
