A bit more about me

Before certifying as a Zentangle® Teacher in 2022, I spent nearly 20 years as a sub-editor and journalist. These days, that same eye for detail and love of quiet, focused work shapes how I teach and create.

I now teach The Zentangle® Method as a calming creative practice, on a one-to-one basis and via free tutorials on my YouTube channel.

"Lisa has a calm and measured style, while being super encouraging and supportive. After only one lesson, I produced something I was really proud of and impressed my seven-year-old with my newfound skills. I look forward to learning more with Lisa."

Our Sunday Senior's Club thoroughly enjoyed their Zentangle sessions with Lisa, who brings so much enthusiasm, knowledge and sensitivity to help everyone express their inner creativity and experience the calming art of Zentangle. Lisa is both professional and a joy to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

FAQs

What kinds of programs do you offer?

I'm a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, offering one-to-one classes online and in person around Glasgow, a beginner's video course, and printable guides and journals.

Where am I based and who do I help?

I'm based in Glasgow, Scotland. Online Zentangle classes are open to anyone with a stable connection. In-person workshops are in and around Glasgow.

Do I need to be artistic to do Zentangle?

Not at all. The whole Zentangle method is built around the idea that anyone can do it, regardless of artistic background. If you can hold a pen, you can tangle.

What is The Zentangle® Method?

Zentangle is a calming, meditative drawing practice created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. You build up structured patterns one stroke at a time, with no eraser and no pressure to plan ahead. Many people find it a powerful way to settle a busy mind and reconnect with creativity.

What supplies do I need to start Zentangle?

Very little: a Sakura Pigma Micron pen, a 2B graphite pencil, a tortillon (blending stump), and a 3.5 inch square paper tile. I run through the basics in detail in my free ebook and on the blog.

How do I book a class or workshop?

For Zentangle classes and workshops, head to my classes page for current availability. For group bookings or corporate sessions, email me at [email protected].

Do you offer group or corporate workshops?

Yes, I run Zentangle workshops for teams, community groups, and private gatherings, both in person around Glasgow and online. Get in touch with a rough idea of your group size and what you're looking to do, and I'll send through some options.

Where can I find free Zentangle tutorials?

My blog and YouTube channel are full of free tutorials, with new content most weeks. You can also grab my free ebook, which walks you through your first Zentangle project from start to finish.
