SUMMARY:GPAG: Zentangle Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Announcing a new art workshop at the Art & Words Festival — Zentangle with Stephen Murphy\, Aug. 21-23\, 1 PM – 2 PM each day at Gibsons Public Art Gallery. $10 or pay what you can. Pre-register with sunshinecoastwriters@gmail.com or drop-in. All supplies included. No art experience necessary. \nWhat’s Zentangle? It’s a doodling process that allows persons to create your own art through the doodling process. It’s a great opportunity for non artists to try something new and uncomplicated. Simply draws a frame divides it and doodles patterns inside. Very simple but it can be a starting point for someone afraid of facing the blank page.
