I am loving The Crafty Scrapper! First of all, I’ve been a scrapbooker for way too many years to count now, and I haven’t actually created a scrapbook page in about two and a half years. When I walked in, I swear my heart started racing. It was so good to be in a scrapbook store again! It really made me want to
- Buy everything in the store (which I didn’t) and
- Start creating those pages again.
But when I really thought about it, Zentangle is where I am supposed to be for now. Some day when I have more time (ha) and more room (haha), I will scrapbook again (hahaha). In the meantime, I will use Zentangle as my creative outlet, and teach others the beauty and simplicity of it.
The Crafty Scrapper has wonderful customers who are anxious to learn, and I am anxious to share. On April 12, they are having a birthday celebration bash and I will be there for that, and then the class is the next Saturday, April 19.
You can call the store at 972-923-3151 to register for class (see description below). The full flyer is shown under Classes on my home page.
If you mention this blogpost at the class, I’ll give you an extra tile to take home for practice!
Tangle On!
| Zentangle 101 – Trisha Rice |
| Saturday – Apr 19, 2014 10:30-12:30 $35 This class is the beginning of your Zentangle journey. Carefully chosen tangles will build the skills you need for every step you take. Have you already tried your hand at this? Patterns (tangles) in books and online are great resources, but they don’t offer the tools to tap into your own creative expressions using the purposeful, mindful process of Zentangle. You will come away from this classwith two official Zentangle tiles and nine (yes, 9) patterns. Also, know that you are learning from Trishia Rice, a Certified Zentangle Teacher trained by the founders Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Trishia could not (and still cannot) draw realistic images, but she has discovered it is not necessary for becoming an artist. Come and enjoy a relaxing and creative two-hour session – you won’t regret it! ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED |
Hi. I just started following you and plan on signing up for your class at the Crafty Scrapper. Do you think it would be all right if I signed up my 10 and 12 year olds? I have taken my 12 year old to the Crafty Scrapper to take classes with Dina Wakely, but I just wanted to check with you first, if you felt that the material was something they could feel comfortable with. My 10 year old is into sketching and I think this would be something great he would get to enjoy. Thank you. Can’t wait.
Hmm…I had to think about it. The material is absolutely something they could feel comfortable with, but this class is just learning the method, not creating a “project.” . Not knowing your kids and their attention spans, I’m going to let you make the call. They are most welcome to attend – Zentangle is taught in a lot of schools, so that’s not the issue. I’ve taught kids and adults in the same class and it worked out fine. It’s really going to depend on your kids!
Looking forward to the class!!!
