Although I'm not an official CZT, I facilitated a class at our church a few weeks ago just to share the love of Zentangle. We had a blast! I had a full class and some that I had to turn away, sadly, because of lack of space! (Next year, I will know to make more room.)
I think anyone who is interested in sharing with others the joy and benefits of Zentangle and who isn't a CZT could look at doing the classroom pack. That's what I did...It wasn't super expensive and I had more supplies than I needed for the 15 people who registered. (The pack comes with plenty of tiles and supplies for 26 students). I allowed the 15 students I had to keep the pencil, pen and a few extra tiles. You could limit this, of course, but to me, the whole point was to send folks out to start creating and wanting to do more with the knowledge they learned with me. I can still do another class next year and not have to buy any supplies : )
I was encouraged that so many people wanted to try the Zentangle method and I hope this encourages others to offer a free session at their church or school. I really feel that Zentangle does so much more than offer a space to be creative. It's a way to reflect, meditate and just appreciate the beauty around us and within us.
One thing that I was asked was, 'what do I do with my tiles??" I thought this was a great question as I have quite a few laying around and have pondered this as well. Here's a good article from Rick and Maria on some ideas for what to do with your tiles...enjoy!
