Organized by

Laura Marks, CZT

My classes are based on the Zentangle method of creating abstract art through structured patterns. There are no mistakes in this type of art and it is easy for anyone to learn. Using the Zentangle method of creating art can relive stress, decrease anxiety and increase creativity. I teach classes from the very basic patterns done in black and white to complex patterns using a variety of mediums, surfaces, textures and techniques. My aim is to make my classes as accessible as possible to everyone by in depth explanation of the method(s) used, using ordinary, every day objects in our art and using materials that are not expensive. Making a beautiful piece of art is just one goal of taking my class; the more important goal is to have an enjoyable, relaxing session while creating your artwork that you can come away from feeling refreshed, energized and proud.
