Halloween Zentangle (Canceled)

NOTE: This event has been canceled.

The Zentangle® Method is an easy way of creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called tangles. This promotes mindfulness and fosters self-esteem, increases focus, promotes relaxation, ignites creativity, and relieves stress. People of all ages and skill levels can create Zentangle® art and have fun in the process. Even if you think you cannot draw a stick figure, you can learn the Zentangle® method and create stunning original art.

This class primarily focuses on the basics with an option to create Halloween-inspired designs. You will learn 3-4 Halloween-themed tangles. We will decorate a Halloween item, like a real or craft pumpkin or Halloween decoration.

Buy our class supply kit for $5 and pick it up from the Sierra 2 Center ahead of class. Kits can be picked up in the Sierra 2 Center office anytime our office is open (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm — recommended to call ahead as hours may vary due to COVID).

Lee Miller is a retired techie living in South Sacramento with her husband and 2 dogs, Zak and Asha. Lee discovered Zentangle in 2013 by accident while searching for ideas on how to draw for an art project and soon became addicted to the art form. While on sabbatical, she decided to become a Certified Zentangle Teacher. Her favorite part of teaching Zentangle is the interaction between the students and watching those that came into the class stating they do not know how to draw become confident.
