102 Zentangle Dingbatz Instructor Alice Roche
If you have attended our basic Zentangle class, then sign up for this class!
In typography and typesetting, dingbats are printer’s ornaments or decorations. These designs were historically seen decorating pages of books – used to frame a title or separate one chapter from another in some instances – purely decorative.
Dingbatz combines the concept of printer’s ornaments and decorations with the principles of Zentangle to give the artist new ways to incorporate tangles into a variety of projects.
Bring your Zentangle kit with your old Zentangle step-outs and other materials needed will be old unused envelopes from greeting cards and/or a mixed media notebook.
This class limit is 12 students
