Bijou Mobile Class: Sunday, January 18
Let’s manifest some good intentions this New Year with a wonderful Zentangle project that incorporates lots of color, tangling, and simple lettering techniques. The bijou mobile contains three small 2×2″ tiles that we will string together to form the hanging mobile. All materials will be provided to you for the class, but if you have a starter kit (black micron, graphite pencil and tortillion), please bring it with you.
Dragonfly Class: Sunday, February 15
Learn the magic of using a toned tile and a white gel pen with this Dragonfly Zentangle class. Simple tangles contained in a dragonfly string will compose this tile. All materials will be provided to you for the class, but if you have a starter kit (black micron, graphite pencil and tortillion), please bring it with you.
Go With the Flow – How to Compose a Balanced Tile: Sunday, March 29
One of the trickiest things as a new tangler is knowing how to create a tile on your own — what tangles go best with another? In this class, you will learn a simple “formula” for creating your own tiles that are balanced, harmonious, easy, and creative. All materials will be provided to you for the class, but if you have a starter kit (black micron, graphite pencil and tortillion), please bring it with you.
About the Instructor: Laura Marks
Laura Marks is a certified Zentangle instructor and has been teaching the method in a variety of settings including universities, hospitals, art centers, places of worship and school systems. She has been teaching Zentangle for the Art for Healing Program of Hartford Hospital since 2016, helping cancer survivors and their caregivers. There are no mistakes in Zentangle as it is abstract, and any unintentional line you draw becomes an opportunity for something new; not a mistake. Laura obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from Eastern Connecticut State University in 1989 and a Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Hartford in 2001. She is currently working on a certification as a health and life coach. Zentangle is a perfect way to help people through expressive art. We are excited to offer this workshop at the Marlborough Arts Center and help us start a group who can “tangle” more on their own and together if they want to be part of a community.
