Class Leader Bio(s): Lynn Walton was happily working as a software engineer for almost 30 years, when Zentangle waltzed into her life unexpectedly in early 2023. She fell in love. She had not previously been engaged with any kind of visual art form, but with the Zentangle Method, she found a new way to explore mindfulness, and acceptance while expressing her creativity. In September 2023, she became a Certified Zentangle Teacher. She has since semi-retired in order to have more time to share the joy of this wonderful meditative art form with others.

Notes: This is a 6-session IN PERSON class, meeting six consecutive Mondays on January 12, 26, February 2, 9, 16 and 23. At the first class you will need to purchase a Zentangle Toolkit, containing the supplies we’ll use, for a fee of $20.
