What is it? z e n t a n g l e® is a relatively new art form that is fun, relaxing, increases focus and enhances creativity. It is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. z e n t a n g l e® provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of well being. It can be enjoyed anywhere, by people of many ages and all walks of life. Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, the founders of
z e n t a n g l e® believe “everything is possible one stroke at a time”™.
z e n t a n g l e® is traditionally created on a 3.5” square tile of fine, individually die-cut Italian Fabriano Disegno printmaking paper, selected for its fine texture and archival characteristics; using Sakura Pigma® inks which are archival and will stand the test of time.
