Zen DoodleThe Zentangle Method is non-verbal language of pattern and proportions; it can open doors to insights which seemed locked before. Creating in a Zentangle way opens those doors, not because they were locked, but because those doors swing on a non-verbal hinge. When you create in a Zeninspired way you can enter a state of zen. With Zentangle there are no mistakes; just in life we make mistakes

but we cant erase them. We make the best of our mistakes. Such is with Zentangle, we make art from our mistakes and create beautiful designs.Dates: Aug 24, 2015Time: 6:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m.Price: $20.00 CourseLocation: WNCC Alliance Campus Rooms 015/017
