"Heartfelt "

Zentangle Class

Let’s continue on with feelings of Gratitude and Appreciation for our Zentangle practice by participating in a 2-1/2 to 3 hour Valentine’s Day inspired class.

Our practice becomes more and more an intimate part of us as we focus on our tangles and connects us with our fellow participants as we admire each other’s artwork. Each time we learn a new tangle our repertoire grows as does our passion for our practice. Tuesday, February 14 12:00pm - 3:00pm Arts & Crafts Cabin *Prior Zentangle experience recommended*

$35 paid to the instructor on the day of the class, generous supplies provided.
