There is something truly magical about the art of knotwork. The interlacing lines, the rhythmic flow of patterns, and the sense of connection between past and present make it a deeply satisfying practice. But beyond the beauty of the designs themselves, there is another layer of richness—being part of a community that shares in the passion, the challenges, and the triumphs of creating intricate knots. That’s exactly what Nancy’s Knot Club is all about.

The Science Behind Zentangle Mindfulness
I have always found it interesting how small course changes in a person's life can have a profound effect on that person and the people around them. History even shows us that one person’s course change can change the world.
This year, the Zentangle community is celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary since the first class that Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas taught. Their lives and that of their family, have been transformed by the simple act of sharing their passion for mindfulness and drawing.

Celtic knots have been used for various purposes throughout history, including in illuminated manuscripts, stone carvings, jewelry, and other forms of artwork.
