Art & Design

The art of Zentangle has caught the imagination worldwide, with growing numbers of people enraptured by the apparently simple tangles, or patterns, that can be woven into intricate and beautiful designs. In our hectic age, the chance to still the mind and body by concentrating on harmony and shape is something we yearn for, even though we may not realize it. Most of us, though, know the value of meditation and mindfulness, and the joy of Zentangle is that its repetitions and rhythms provide that inner space where we can switch off our everyday concerns and find deep satisfaction in our creativity.
