  • Tangling outside the string.
  • Ways to create depth using shading, "tangling behind", scale and other methods.
  • Creating a "Zentangle Ensemble".
  • Techniques to enhance our shading.
  • Ways to embellish our tangles with perfs, glints, carbonation, halos, etc.
  • Using Zentangle ideas to create still lifes, landscapes, maybe even portraits!

New tangles and tanglations are presented each week. A Materials Fee of $10.00 will be collected by the teacher at the first class. Please bring your Beginning Zentangle Kit.
