Your CZT presenters will guide you through Zentangle workshops that allow you to focus, relax and grow as an artist. Throughout the retreat you will learn creative new approaches, techniques and hints to creating beautiful Zentangle art.

We’ll tangle on an array of Zentangle tiles using a collection of quality art supplies that you receive in your gift bag.

How fun!

Tangling in community, learning new techniques, creating Zentangle art and making new friends is the essence of The Peaceful Tangles Retreat.

We hope to see you here!

We’re looking for good vibes and happy tanglers to participate in this event. You’ll enjoy tangling in community and the camaraderie of creating art within a group Zentangle artists.
