Welcome to the Zentangle Group Workshop! In this inspiring 2-hour session, we will introduce you to the world of Zentangle – an art form that not only results in beautiful drawings but also brings calmness and relaxation. Zentangle helps improve your hand-brain coordination, which can aid in preventing cognitive decline. By focusing on repetitive patterns, you enhance concentration and strengthen the connection between your hands and mind. This makes Zentangle both a creative and mentally beneficial activity.
About the Workshop
My name is Annelies Nuy, and with my experience in leading over 200 workshops in art and creativity, I guide participants in using Zentangle to release daily stress and fully immerse themselves in the creative process. This workshop is ideal for both beginners and experienced artists and is perfect for smaller groups, such as friends or family, but also for larger groups like corporate events.
What to Expect
The workshop lasts 2 hours and includes the following:
-
Introduction to Zentangle: We’ll start with a brief explanation of the origins of Zentangle and how it can help you relax while improving your hand-brain coordination.
-
Basic Techniques and Principles: You’ll learn the basics of Zentangle – simple lines and patterns – that will help you create your own artwork step by step.
-
Hands-on Drawing: You’ll then dive into the drawing process yourself. You’ll quickly realize how calming it is to repeat patterns and how each line brings you further into the present moment.
-
Creative Freedom: After mastering the basics, you’ll have space to express your creativity by combining unique patterns and discovering your own style.
What You’ll Receive During the Workshop
- A complete materials package: Including a fine black pen, pencil, eraser, and high-quality paper, so you can start right away and continue drawing at home.
- Personalized guidance in a small, intimate group of up to 6 participants, ensuring ample time for questions and individual support. For larger groups, such as corporate events, the workshop can be adjusted to ensure everyone receives the attention they need.
- At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own Zentangle artwork, ready to frame or continue exploring further!
Why Zentangle?
Zentangle is more than just drawing – it’s a way to improve your hand-brain coordination, reduce stress, and stimulate creativity. The repetitive patterns have a calming effect and help organize your thoughts. This process requires no prior experience and is suitable for anyone looking for a creative outlet or a mindful break. It’s also an excellent team-building activity for companies, as it fosters collaboration, relaxation, and creativity.
