What happens in a Zentangle 2 class?

I hope those of you who have attended one of my Zentangle 1 classes will take your tangling to the next level with Zentangle 2 on May 31.

Between the time you finish my Zentangle 1 class and when the Zentangle 2 class rolls around, it's really important that you practice Zentangle(R)--and I don't mean this in a demanding way--but for the fun and creativity of it. The more you practice (of course) the more comfortable you'll become with the tools, materials, and tangles.

So what's to learn in Zentangle 2? It's all about white on black tiles. A Sakura Gelly roll pen for white ink, a charcoal pencil for borders, strings, and shading, and a new tortillion you'll reserve for working with white on black. (If you use your black-stained tortillion, you'll smudge your white charcoal marks into grey marks.) The texture of the black tiles is also different. They're made from black Rives BFK printmaking paper; white tiles are made from Fabriano Tiepolo paper.

As a disclaimer, you must have taken my Zentangle 1 class or an introductory Zentangle class from another CZT(TM)before you can take Zentangle 2. That's to ensure that everyone starts on relatively the same level so that we can play with more intricate tangles in addition to the new tools and tiles. (If you've taken a basic Zentangle class from someone else, contact me and we'll chat about what you learned and if you're ready for Zentangle 2.)

Between now and May 31, happy tangling and hope to see you in class!
