Amanda Haymans leads an afternoon of Zentangles at the Confluence Creative Arts Center on Sunday, October 11, from noon to 2 p.m. The fee is $20 and registration is through confluencecreativearts.org.

Participants learn a range of tangles, which are the repeating patterns the practice is built on, experiment with shading, and go home with a finished piece that reflects the season and their own style. It suits beginners, working artists, doodlers and anyone who finds the repetition settling.

No drawing experience required. A pen and two hours will do it.
