Two New Classes! Schedule Set!

I've delayed posting this month until the full description and schedule was set for the two new classes.  So here they are:


Introduction to Renaissance (Tan) Tiles
Journey back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo in this class that focuses on using Brown, Black and White colors on tan tiles.   In this class you will learn all of the techniques for creating your own unique "Renaissance art".  Learn some new tangles, too!  But more importantly -- give the old tangles a completely new and beautiful look that you will LOVE!  So join us and take the world of Zentangle back in time!  Please bring your Black Micron #01 & 08 pens, graphite pencil, and 2 shaders (tortillions) - one for white one for graphite to class.  I will have these available for purchase.  Prerequisites: “Zentangle 101” and  “Advanced Zentangle.”

Tuition:  $35.  Pay $12 to instructor for Renaissance Kit
Date:  Saturday,  April 5  OR  Tuesday, April 15th
Time:  10am-1pm
Location:  Art Classroom

Tangling on Fabric:
Create an apron or tote bag, your choice!   
We will begin by trying out our new fabric pens on some different material swatches.  And, some helpful hints will be given for tangling on fabric!  I will also demo a few NEW TANGLES! Then we will go to work on your chosen project:  the Tote Bag OR the Apron.   The tote is 10-1/2”x14”x5” ten oz. natural canvas with 23” shoulder straps;  and, has a full side and bottom gussets (More space to tangle!!)   The apron is a 22”x24” 10oz. natural canvas with 3 roomy front pockets and an adjustable neck. Makes a great craft apron!!   I searched around to get the best quality and price on each of these items. And, of course, assistance will be given throughout the class, as needed while you work on your project.  Afterward, you can use what you learned to tangle on all sorts of fabric items!!!   Come play because it’s going to be a fun time!  Prerequisites: “Zentangle 101” and  “Advanced Zentangle.”

Tuition:  $40.  Pay $15 to instructor for either Apron OR Tote Bag AND fabric pen kit.
Date:  Saturday, May 3 OR  Thursday, May 15
Time:  10am-2:00  Bring a snack or bag lunch
Location:  Art Classroom

Exciting, huh!!! Registration for these classes will be through the Brewery Arts Center, and will begin some time in early March.  Just check their website.  Hope you can join us for one or both of these classes!!

In honor of "heart" month, the tangle I'm sharing is HEARTLINE by Helen Williams. 



And here's a sample of HEARTLINE with a variation:


Makes a great border!

And, here's a free form one in which I tangled some of the hearts. Also, used the template from class to frame the ZIA.


Added a little glitter to the MSST Tangle (which you probably can't see in this photo).

Please take a look at the Gallery Page … you must see some truly gorgeous submissions from students!  

Meanwhile, be well and be happy!
