Come learn about the
intriguing drawing technique
of Zentangle at a free demon-
stration on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at
2 p.m., at the Florence
Regional
Arts
Alliance
(FRAA.).
The demonstration will be
presented by Rosie Hill, certi-
fied Zentangle teacher and
newest Artist in Residence at
FRAA.
Zentangle is an easy-to-
learn approach to drawing
based on repetitive patterns
and resulting in a beautiful
abstract image.
Because of the focus and
mindfulness given to each
stroke of the pen, it becomes
meditative, providing the same
mental and physical benefits as
regular meditation. It has been
called “yoga for the brain” for
its ability to relax, reduce
stress, anxiety and depression,
