After completing our CZT training in Whitinsville, Massachusetts my fellow traveler, Jeanne, and I zipped up to Vermont and held our first official Zentangle
® class at the
Senior Center in Charlotte, Vermont. It was a great experience and we met a bunch of wonderful budding Zentanglist who created some exceptional pieces.
We used our inspiration from the seminar to guide our process and a great time was had by all! The participants all created wonderful little "jewels" as you can see in the ensembles.
My dear friend Shirley Galliher gave us the opportunity to present this class and it made it so much more special with dear friends there for our intitial foray into the wonderful world of CZT's.
I've been a "shirt-tail" relative since I was 12 years old, thats when I met the family at Clear Lake Camp. It's been an honor to be an extended part of their family. My friend Jeanne and I were able to spend several days with them, days filled with laughter, memories, and lot's of hugs in their lovely little farm house overlooking the Green Mountains!
The artwork hanging in the background is from Shirley's show at the Senior Center. She has artwork from friends and family that range in age from 2 to 97. It's a phenominal and a wonderfully eclectic show. I'm so glad I was able to see it.
There is a different mind-set now that I've completed my Certified Zentangle Training. I have a whole new appreciation and a deeper understanding of this process. The whole experience was a real gift. The training was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so glad I got to meet so many wonderful people with so much to share.
