About Zentangle

Zentangle is known to reduce stress, improve focus, and boost mindfulness. It’s a perfect starting point for anyone curious to learn drawing or visual arts.

If you've ever wanted to learn drawing but didn't know where to start, you should register to this event. We will provide the art supplies to use during the session. You can take home your artwork and the handouts.

You’ll learn the Zentangle art method step by step. At the end of the workshop, Ashwini will advise about next steps to continue, art supplies to use and online learning resources for reference.

Who can learn Zentangle? If you can draw basic shapes, you can learn Zentangle! This workshop is for anyone who is keen to learn mindfulness through drawing.

You only need to bring with you, a passion to learn this new art, gratitude and an open mind for philosophy behind the Zentangle method.

Zentangle was founded in 2004, by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Roberts, a meditator, and Thomas a calligrapher bounded their forces and discovered the meditative effects of creating repetitive patterns. They wanted to establish an art method that was accessible for anyone to create. 

For many, Zentangle is considered “yoga for the brain”, since Zentangle has calming and stress relieving effects on the people that practice it. It can also improve one’s confidence and concentration. 

By drawing structured and repetitive patterns, fears like a lack of inspiration or a fear of failure do not play a role in Zentangle. This allows you to let go of expectations, and really live in the moment without having to worry about anything else. Learn more here! https://www.royaltalens.com/blogs/zentangle/zentangle
