The instructor for the activity will be Zentangle-certified, and anyone who is interested will need to sign up ahead of time for the workshop.
The learners will be taught the fundamentals of the craft, using repetitive patterns to create their own unique images. It was explained that the practice offers a way to deal with stress and anxiety, and both beginners and professionals are welcome to hone their skills during the session. A kit of supplies will be provided to each registrant, and these will be made available for pick up at a branch of the Napa Library.
