Mindful Art Workshop.

Relax the mind using the Zentangle method.

What is it? This is mindful pattern-making at its best. Using simple strokes, called Elemental Strokes, which repeat and build on each other, you will learn how to create some lovely patterns or "tangles", freehand. You not only create the patterns, but will learn how to shade and blend to create 3D effects.

What do you need? Your certified Zentangle instructor, Vanessa, will bring all the equipment needed to complete the workshop including pencils, pens, a blending tool, paper and templates.

How long is it? The workshop will run for 60 minutes.

How much is it? From £30pp + VAT.

Where can it be hosted? It can be hosted in your office or a venue of your choice. All we need is for everyone to be sitting down at a table and chairs comfortably.

What are the benefits of practicing mindful art?

Practicing the Zentangle method is a brilliant team building activity which creates a time for exploring and learning new techniques together, and promotes team bonding through a mindful and meditative art form. The pensive nature of Zentangle promotes focus and reduces stress, leading to improved productivity and a positive work environment.

There are many mental and emotional benefits of mindful art:

  • Changes in brain patterns reflecting a calm, focused state of attention

  • Development of neural pathways in your brain that enable you to create and focus on art making

  • Improved intuition and trust in your own body (how you are feeling and what it means)

  • Increased emotional awareness

  • Increased creative thinking and imagination

  • Increased sense of control and ability to share inner thoughts

  • Improved awareness of underlying issues that have been hidden

  • Ability to communicate abstract feelings

  • Increased self-esteem and self-acceptance

  • Improved attention span

What is Zentangle?

The Zentangle Method is an fun and easy to learn way to create beautiful illustrations by drawing a series of repeated patterns or ‘tangles’. You create tangles with a combination of dots, lines, curves and arches - these are the "Elemental Strokes" which form all Zentangle art. Each pattern is first drawn onto a ‘tile’, which can then be put together to create a mosaic.

The art of Zentangle is all created through spontaneity and creativity - this offers a freedom in working stroke by stroke, without a finite end goal in sight. By trusting your flow of strokes, you’ll be surprised by the outcome of the final piece.

Develop your wellbeing journey with our Advanced Zentangle Workshop, where you will draw tangles within the letter of your name. You will recap/learn how to draw the tangles first and then add them to your letter to create the final piece. The beauty of Zentangle is there is no start or end, nor a perfect piece - so you and the team can continue to evolve and discover new patterns with every experience shared.

The perfect way to build on past practice and continue learning the benefits of mindful art.

Take your workshop to the advanced level.
