Zentanglers in Pittsburgh

Let's get ready for the holidays by crafting three different Zentangle ornaments during our first Monday sessions, October through December. These easy, imaginative paper ornaments can be used for home decor, tree decoration or gift giving. Make one in class; then make more at home with directions provided.

All supplies will be provided.

October: 3-D Triangles
November: Intriguing Orbs
December: Peace Dove

GENERAL INFORMATION
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, fun and relaxing method of drawing small abstract designs. No artistic skills are needed. If you can write your name, you can draw these intriguing patterns.

Sue Schneider, Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), will lead you through creating your own Zentangle design. With just five simple strokes, combined in a variety of patterns, you will be amazed at your finished artwork. Planned for beginners, this class is also a good refresher for more experienced tanglers who enjoy an in-person experience.

Don't miss this opportunity to nourish your soul and expand your artistic horizons with like-minded individuals.

YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE LIBRARY TO CONFIRM YOUR SPOT. CALL 412-513-1912. SPACE IS LIMITED, SO DON'T DELAY.

This meeting:
Thinking of designing your holiday cards or just want to draw a cute gnome? That's our project. I'll give tips on making cards as multiples and making your envelope stand out among all the seasonal mail.

General information:
Welcome to Zoom Tangling. Sue Schneider will guide you through this meditative drawing art form. Step-by-step, you will learn the basic process for creating a small, abstract design using repetitive pattern skills. Zentangle is easy, relaxing and stress-free; perfect for "these challenging times".

Our session will begin at 6:30 p.m. You may wish to arrive earlier to get everyone signed-in, settled, relaxed and focused.

There are 2 sessions each month, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. Each session features a new lesson. Our sessions explore a variety of themes and topics; always working with the basic concepts of Zentangle but often with new pattern introductions and techniques (e.g., shading, color, non-abstract, use of tinted papers, etc.).

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Please provide a standard pencil, a fine tipped black marker, and paper on which to draw. Optional: Tortillion (blending stub), colored pencils, white and red fine tipped markers.

Supplies advice:
Pen recommendations: Sakura Pigma Micron 01; Uniball Vision Micro; Sharpie Fine "No Bleed". Paper: We usually work on a 3.5" square paper (called a "tile"). Good quality papers that work well are Strathmore Vellum Bristol, 95# or 140# water color paper, a "Mixed Media" sketchbook, 65# card stock. Lately, I have often used a 4x6" blank index card will work.

DONATIONS: Class is free, but donations are appreciated and encourage your instructor. You may use Paypal ([email protected]) or mail cash/check to Sue Schneider,511 Bevington Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Meet-up has substantially raised my fee to use the service. Your kind donation will help offset these increased costs. Thanks!

Please feel free to invite friends. They will need to sign up as Meet-up members (it's free) and RSVP to this meeting in order to get the link.

Happy tangling to all,
Sue

FIRST-TIMERS: If you are brand new to Zentangle, I'm happy to send you my Beginner's Guide, that will fill you in on background, basic techniques and some starter patterns. Just email me at [email protected] with "Beginner's Guide Request" in the subject line.

Our lesson will begin promptly at noon. The lesson will be about 75-90 minutes. Sue will demonstrate patterns and techniques for you to follow along. During the last few minutes we'll share our creations and wrap-up.

There are 2 sessions each month, on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays. At each session we'll follow the basic Zentangle method and explore a variety of themes and topics, often with new pattern introductions and techniques beyond the basics (e.g., shading, color, non-abstract, use of tinted papers, etc.)

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Please provide a standard pencil, a fine tipped black marker, and paper on which to draw. Optional: Tortillion (blending stub), colored pencils, white and red fine tipped markers/pens.
