Join us for a relaxing and creative one-day Zentangle workshop at North Yorks Art School, led by Joanne Cummings, a certified Zentangle teacher passionate about sharing this meditative art form. Perfect for beginners and those looking to deepen their practice, this workshop introduces you to the Zentangle method, an easy-to-learn, fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns based on simple shapes like I, C, S, and O. You’ll craft a detailed artwork while enjoying the calming, stress-reducing benefits of this portable craft. With a take-home kit including quality pens and paper, you’ll leave equipped to continue your Zentangle journey anywhere. Set in the vibrant, welcoming hub of North Yorks Art School, this workshop offers a supportive and inspiring atmosphere for all. Zentangle, developed in 2003 by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, is a modern art form that combines repetitive patterns with mindfulness, rooted in traditional drawing practices like mandalas and illuminated manuscripts. Using simple strokes to form “tangles,” it’s accessible to anyone who can draw basic shapes, requiring only a pen, paper, and focus. Celebrated for its portability and minimal materials, Zentangle promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances concentration, with studies highlighting its therapeutic benefits for mental wellbeing. Under Joanne Cummings’ expert guidance, you’ll master the Zentangle method, creating a detailed artwork in a step-by-step process. You’ll begin by learning the foundational strokes of I, C, S, and O using quality pens and paper from your provided take-home kit. Joanne will guide you through drawing structured patterns, or “tangles,” demonstrating techniques like shading, layering, and combining patterns to build intricate designs. You’ll create a unique piece, choosing from provided templates.
