What is Zentangle®

The Zentangle® Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.

From the official Zenatangle site: 
Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages. We believe that life is an art form and that our Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.

In addition to creating beautiful images and expressions of creativity the Zentangle method is an empowering process which calms, relieves stress, develops fine motor and hand eye co-ordination. If you have ever felt the need to say ‘ I am not an artist’ then engaging with Zentangles will open a new door to your creative spirit that you never knew you had.
