Zentangle--a new and unique offering at the Folk School
What in the world is a Zentangle? It is described as "a way of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is fun and relaxing. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages." Below is an example of a zentangle. The Folk School offering will be taught by Jeannie Mahood and Joan Payton.
