I love this class! I thought I could not be creative, but I surprised myself! Jacki went above and beyond with the gifts and prizes and lunch! What a bonus! Jacki is an excellent teacher and there is NO mistake it was meant to be! Katherine W.

Outstanding, no pressure, very relaxing, calm nice music. Jacki Rose does a fantastic job!

I can’t get enough of these classes.

Jacki is awesome!

Jacki Rose is a great teacher. This was my first experience with Zentangle. I enjoyed it so much that I want to continue to learn more. I have already signed up for the course that she is teaching next week.

Excellent class. There were people of all levels of experience but as a beginner I still felt comfortable. Jacki made the environment welcoming. I want to continue on - I have discovered a new hobby.

It was a great and relaxing class.

Jacki is an excellent teacher.

I have heard about Zentangle but never took a class. Surprisingly it was easier than I thought and very relaxing. Very enjoyable!

I love your classes. Oh and you as well! Thank you, for the peaceful time we all spend together, creating art.

Thanks for adding fun and relaxation to my life. Now I see patterns everywhere, even our soap dish!

I am no artist. But in your class I learned that I can make my own kind of art & I love it! I love that I don’t have to expect it to look like a bird or a cat. I love that it is more than just doodling – strokes with a purpose.

Loved Jacki and felt so comfortable with the entire class. Cant wait to start the 6 week class next week!

They say successful students are the reflection of great teachers. You inspire me at every class I take from you.

The Instructor was wonderful!! I was brand new to Zentangle! As a result of the instructor's skill and teaching ability, I learned a lot and look forward to Zentangling!!

I really enjoyed my first class! It was what the Dr ordered. I am so looking forward to the next class. Kathy

Fun and relaxing way to spend an afternoon learning something new that I can take with me into the "real world", especially when traveling for work! Very enjoyable. Melanie

This was my first Zentangle event. Jacki did a wonderful job not only explaining Zentangle, but making it a relaxing experience. Looking forward to the next class! Karen

After feeling like a total failure in so many other types of drawing classes I have found my true love in Zentangle! The focus of the slowing down, being present in the moment , being told ahead of time that each persons drawing is perfect, that each drawing is meant to be unique. With Jacki’s encouraging, fun personality it is easy for ours confidence grow as we all create beautiful, unique Tiles. Pauline Harris

I love doing zentangle. Some people do crossword puzzles or sudoku, I do Zentangle. Every one is a surprise because I never know how it is going to turn out. It is just so much fun and I find it relaxing. Vicki Uslabar

I find it calming, I’m a type A personality and find it difficult to turn off. Zentangle helps me be still. Carrie A.

It overwhelms me to see what comes from the pen in my hand! Jacki breaks it down to small steps, constantly reassuring us to be flexible, to take our time and relax. Soothing background music aides in making it happen. Minimal direction is needed to create the calm and to produce some fine examples of tangles. I carry it over to my home life by tangling as we relax in front of the TV. What a surprising, effective tool! Esther B

Jacki has been an amazing Zentangle instructor. My first class was 2 months ago. Boy was I ever intimidated. The talent around me was waaaaay beyond what I thought I could do. Jacki changed my mind almost immediately. Her voice and choice of music was so calming and relaxing. Needless, to say, two months later, Jacki has created a tangle monster. I love it. Thanks Jacki!!! Rosemary M.

It is a wonderful way to slow down, do an interesting art related activity and hang out with a like minded group of people. Love the music and the quietly productive experience. No Outcome... my personal favorite!! Sharon

I was surprised at how satisfying and centering the experience was. The music is definitely an enhancement. I look forward to exploring more of this technique. Thanks Jacki! Catherine G

I always like to try new types of art. I'm not good at it, but Jacki said you didn't need to know how to do traditional art. I thought I would give it a try. I also like meditation, so both of these things I like to do. Pat D

Enjoyed my first Zentangle class with the amazing, Jacki Rose. I look forward to next week's class. Lisa M.

I enjoy the quiet, relaxing atmosphere while being with friends. I enjoy the non-contemplative being in the moment drawing to music. Lisa Tatroe

I have an anxiety disorder and started to get anxious when the class started, but as soon as I started concentrating on the designs, I could feel it leaving me. Annie S.

Loved this class. Was very relaxing. Helped me to stay in the moment and practice mindfulness. Also, didn’t think about smoking all day! This is wonderful. You can do it any where. Carole G.

I love all the different ways to tangle that we learned. My work week was incredibly demanding and knowing I was going to b here sustained me all week. Ever since my first class with Jacki, which was so welcoming and encouraging, I’ve incorporated tangling into my life to relieve stress and increase relaxation and rejuvenation! I also loved the use of the various sets of cards to enhance our mental state and outlook! Kate R.

Really fun class with a great instructor! Jacki's passion for Zentangle is infectious. I can't wait to Zentangle away! Diane EThanks Jackie it was such a fun night and can't wait to continue. Tara

I had a relaxing evening with a great group of people and a wonderful teacher. The more I do Zentangle the more I love it. Thank you again Jacki . Debbie M.

Life is full of little stressors every day. Stressors from other people, businesses, homes, family, etc. To experience something that took me away and got me to forget everything was wonderful! I will do it again. Very relaxing. Kathy R.

This class was a creative lesson in patience... a process in allowing the creative process to evolve. Mary S.

I loved the class. It's a very good way to relax and let the "zen" release the stress of everyday life. Very well taught. Steven K

It was fun to learn new patterns and ways of tangling! I'm in the midst of a stressful time and decided to take this class as an oasis in the chaos. I was able to leave behind all my stress, to relax, let creativity flow and enjoy myself! Thank you! Kate R.

I came in feeling low and anxious. Within 1/2 hour of tangling, I began to let go of negative feelings and embraced my inner creativity. Feel great. Carol G.

This was a wonderful class. I've been tangling for a while, but this guidance provided was great. Maria R.

This was a great class. Jacki took us step by step to create a Zentangle tile. She was organized, well prepared, communicated clearly, encouraged everyone, and took the time to make sure everyone had some of her attention. The best part was I was in the zone for 2.5 hours. It was truly a Zen experience. Alice

I love Jacki's Rejuventangle sessions. They are so relaxing and I always fee refreshed and energized at the end. Carol S.
