Tangled Folk Art 2026

Rashmi Agarwal and I (Nancy Dawes) bring to you a special series of classes sharing unique folk art from different cultures around the world. By exploring these art forms, and the ancient and modern cultures that created them, we learn a little bit more about the hearts of people with which we share this planet.

Zentangle is a common style that we can use to interpret this cultural art. With this concept in mind, we have put together a spectacular lineup of Certified Zentangle Teachers to share their own take on the culture they represent.

This new series begins March 3rd and runs every Tuesday and Saturday in March. All classes are recorded and added to the course. Teachers and culture represented:

  • Nancy Dawes - Celtic Knot Art Influence across cultures

  • Sandra Cancela - Tradicional art tiles from Portugal

  • Sharon Schenkel - Mokojumbie folkart from the Caribbean Islands

  • Marieke Sanchez - Staphorster dotting tradition

  • Danielle DeRome - Polleras skirts of the Aymara and Quechua women

  • Judy Voges - South African Ndebele traditional dolls

  • Celina Bonilla - Nopales & tunas: mexican cactus project

  • Rashmi Agarwal - Mithila art from Bihar, India

  • Hilde von Ginhoven - Folk art from Netherlands

This special Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) group of classes is designed to foster connections to the cultures we wonder about but have never explored. The low cost of $97 (that’s just $12 US per session) is available to encourage everyone to attend and learn about a diverse range of folk art. Registration is open!
