A lovely two hours running a Zentangle session with Shane and his team at the Hutchins School in Hobart. We spent our time slowing down, working through foundational tangles on classic square tiles, and then exploring Zendalas with a Marasu string.
Beyond taking a genuine breather, these sessions offer some takeaways for schools and workplaces:
Embracing imperfection: The core philosophy is that there are no mistakes, just new opportunities. It is a powerful tool for helping both students and staff move past perfectionism.
Focus and regulation: The deliberate, repetitive patterns act as a simple reset button to settle minds before focused tasks or after a busy day.
Collaborative art: Individual tiles assemble into striking group mosaics, making for a great team project.
If you are looking to bring a hands-on, engaging session like this to your school, staff room, or team event, reach out to chat about setting something up.

Helping out with some Zentangle lessons today as primary school students visited Montrose Bay High School to rehearse their dance pieces as part of the Horizon Project with Drill Youth Dance Company. As students rotated through the various stages of the day, there was also some down time to hula hoop, cartwheel, compete in Chess, complete Sudokus, play the extremely popular Tapple (will definitely be ordering this for our collection at Knights of the Shed!). What a great bunch of young people doing amazing things.

This is happening next week Thursday 28th May. Baptcare has been working with Metro to design this session to support people with disability to feel more confident and comfortable using public transport. It provides a safe, supportive environment where participants can learn, ask questions, and build practical skills for independent travel.
