Denese Allen

Can you draw a line, a dot, and a curve? Looking for a little more mindfulness in your life? Then you can create stunning Zentangle art!

  • class description

    Zentangle drawing is a simple and meditative art form that allows you to create structured patterns which transform into beautiful images. By focusing on each pen stroke and being in the moment…without the pressure of considering the final result—you will achieve a calming sense of mindfulness and creative flow.


    Come draw with Denese Allen, a certified Zentangle instructor. During this workshop you will practice techniques that enhance focus, boost creativity, build self-confidence, and promote a deep sense of well-being—all while you create your own unique designs.


    This technique can be applied to both 2 and 3D art forms. Zentangle patterns can be integrated into your approach to surface treatment for ceramics, illustration, painting, graphic arts, textile surface design and sculpture... Join us to explore Zentangle!
