Gems & Jewels Zentangle Workshop - with Ian McGuire

🖊 Workshop Description

Hi, I’m Ian, and I’d like to invite you to a relaxed, creative online workshop where we’ll explore Gems and Jewels through Zentangle®.

You’ll learn how to create realistic gem effects using coloured pencils and graphite, and then build simple tangle patterns around them. The session is easy to follow, step-by-step, and suitable for all levels - whether you’re new to Zentangle® or have done it before.

It’s a calm, friendly environment where you can switch off, enjoy some creative time, and finish with a piece of art you’ll be proud of.
