Needlework and Zentangle
Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 05:36PM As many of you know I am also a Certified Zentangle Teacher. And for those of you who are not aware of Zentangle, just click on the link to my Terry's Tangles website (see the Places to Visit link at right) to get you started. There has been a growing interest in Zentangle and during the last two years I have introduced Zentangle to several needlework groups/guilds which have been lots of fun. Last year I was asked to teach a one-day workshop for the upcoming Embroiderer's Guild seminar in Phoenix and it has attracted a lot of interest. Below is a photo of my workshop proposal board on display at this year's seminar in Louisville, KY. The left side shows Zentangle 101 examples, the AM class, and the center and right side shows the Zentangle 102, the PM portion, with the addition of fabric and color.
Also, this past year, my daughter, McCall Miller, also a Certified Zentangle Teacher, has begun teaching Zentangle at our great local art supply store, Riley Street Art Supplies in Santa Rosa, CA. She tries to schedule a class every month and offers Zentangle 101 as well Zentangle 102 where she includes an every-changing selection of different media......very fun. Her email is maraboumccall@gmail.com. Her classes are very popular and a great choice if you live in the Santa Rosa area. If you are interested in taking a basic Zentangle class, but do not live in our area, www.zentangle.com has a listings of CZTs worldwide.
If you or your group is interested in combining Zentangle with color and/or fabric, please contact me if you would like further informatio. Or see my schedule of upcoming workshops (as of 12/15/13) by clicking the Teaching Schedule tab. I look forward to hearing from you!

This is brilliant! I started playing with Zentangle several years ago and would doodle on beautiful paper, creating notecards to send out. Now I'm revisiting needlepoint, and I wanted to create my own pattern. A friend suggested I try using a Zentangle design. I haven't done it, and I'm thrilled to see that you and your daughter are doing it.
