Tangled up in the best possible way!

Wow! What a tangled February it's been! Three terrific weekends of tangling with new students! Amazing comments and successes. And looking forward to March classes now. I have a private group class in early March, followed by a two-week Wednesday night session scheduled as part of the Community Programs offerings at Bear Creek United Methodist Church in Woodinville. That class is open to the public and runs from 6:30 to 8pm on Wednesday nights March 19th and 26th. Enrollment is limited. If you are interested, please contact the church office at office@bcumc.org or call 425.788.2953 and ask to register for the Zentangle® class in March.

Truly, I will get a Spring class schedule out as soon as possible, as I know some of you are waiting for new dates, especially for some Beyond the Basics class offerings.

Tangle on!

Happy Tangled New Year!

Wishing all of you a bright and shiny new year! I'm looking forward to this Saturday's Zentangle® 101 Basics class. The November and December classes had an awesome  group of students with lots of enthusiasm. It's been a delight to teach and work with these great people, and I ant to thank these students for the honor of sharing Zentangle with them.

New group class schedule...

I will be publishing a new class schedule soon, with dates for March through the spring months. Let me know if you'd like to be on my email list for upcoming class information (no obligation...).

Prearranged group classes...

• In the next few weeks, I'll be teaching a private class for a local ATC trading group who was interested in adding Zentangle to their repertoire of art forms.
• February is currently booked with classes I'm teaching at a couple of women's retreats.
• If you have a group who is looking for a CZT to share the Zentangle method with them, please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss options to meet your particular needs.

Individual classes...

If you are more comfortable learning in an individual setting, let's talk. If your schedule is complicated, and it's hard to commit in advance to a set schedule, let's talk. Need flexibility? Let's talk...

We had fun in Anacortes!

What a WON-DER-FUL group of students attended my September 28th beginning class in Anacortes! You were a delight to teach, and I thank you for bringing your enthusiasm to class with you. As in the past, The Center for Happiness made a terrific venue, even with the wind and rain whipping outside all afternoon. Thank you to Laura LaVigne for her hospitality.

Students, I hope you are tangling your little hearts out, and enjoying your new knowledge. Let me know when you are ready to take your tangling "Beyond the Basics," and we'll get together again. In the meantime, tangle on!

New Zentangle® classes forming!

Hey now! I've got new dates for upcoming Zentangle 101 Basics classes. If you would like to get started tangling the Zentangle way, or if you would like to take a refresher course, take your pick of...

• November 9th
• December 7th or
• January 11th

All three beginning classes are from 1 to 3 pm in the Woodinville, WA, area.

If you've taken the Basics 101 class and are ready to move on, join me for a Beyond the Basics class, with a different topic every time. Contact me for dates. Sample topics include:

• Tangle Enhancements
• On the Grid
• Made to Shade
• Grow an Organic Tangle Garden

Space is limited, so it's best to get your name in early. To register, please email me at arupley55(at)gmail.com with the class and date you would like to attend, and let's get our tangle on!

 

The fine print... Class fees are prepaid to guarantee a special spot just for you, so I will send a PayPal invoice for you to complete the registration process. You will then receive a confirmation email with class details upon receipt of your registration fee.

A few seats left for Anacortes Zentangle® class on Saturday!

Hey, ya'll! We are down to the wire on time to register if you'd like to participate in the Zentangle 101 Basics class at The Happiness Center in Anacortes, WA, this coming Saturday, September 28th. We have just a few spots left. If you have been waiting to register, wait no more! Email me at arupley55(at)gmail.com to get in on the tangling fun!

Take a tangling class in Anacortes, WA, in September!

I will be returning to teach at The Center for Happiness in Anacortes, WA, on Saturday, September 28, 2013. If you have ever thought of taking a class or wondered about Zentangle®, this would be just the place for you to start.

There will be two Zentangle 101 Basics classes offered that day. UPDATE: Morning class time had a typo. It's a 2.5 hour class, beginning at 11:00 am.

• The morning session is from 11:00am to 1:30pm.
• The afternoon session is from 2:30pm to 5pm. (NOTE: If you were in the Basics class at the Center back in February, I suggest you sign up for this class. We may be able to include some additional tips and techniques if we have enough experienced students.)

While these classes are both suitable for beginning tanglers (and those who would like to brush up on their tangling skills), some content will vary. So, students are welcome to attend either or both classes. If you have taken a beginning class in the past, but would like to take this opportunity to commune with other tanglers in a fun setting, it is perfectly fine to repeat.

Remember, there is no formal art training necessary to tangle. "Anything is possible one stroke at a time™," and that is true. If you do have art in your background, you also will have a great time incorporating what you learn into your personal artistic style.

The fine print...

• Attendance requires advance prepaid registration of $40 per class, supplies included.
• Register by emailing ZartfullyTangled@gmail.com with your contact information and which session (or sessions) you are interested in attending.
• Enrollment is limited.
• Early registration, prior to September 14th, is encouraged to avoid cancellation due to low enrollment. (Your registration fee will be refunded if class must be cancelled.)
• Those attending both classes will be on their own for lunch during the break. 

At the February 2013 Anacortes class, we had a terrific group of enthusiastic students, and I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting new aspiring tanglers.

I also invite you to check out The Center (http://anacortescenterforhappiness.org/) and its "Happy Calendar" in more detail.
