Discover Zentangle® with Mary Anne Waldron
Discover Zentangle® with Mary Anne Waldron
Draw along with Certified Zentangle® Teacher Mary Anne Waldron to explore the meditative art of Zentangle®. Working with structured patterns, the Zentangle® method of drawing promotes relaxation and calm. Even if you think you cannot draw, even if you have little space in which to exercise your creativity, you can produce art that you love with a few readily obtainable materials. In this demo, Mary Anne will guide you through drawing a tile using simple repetitive patterns to produce a 4 X 4 inch abstract pen and ink drawing with an Art Deco vibe.

Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
Mary Anne Waldron spent 42 years as a professor and administrator at the University of Victoria in the Faculty of Law. After retirement, she took up watercolour painting and drawing. Still, it was not until she was recovering from chemotherapy that she came across the name “Zentangle®” and became fascinated with the patterns and the possibilities of the art. She qualified as a Certified Zentangle Teacher in 2024. She teaches and lives in Victoria, B.C., with her husband of 49 years and their Cairn terrier, Keeley. View full details

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to register in advance?
Yes—most events require registration to reserve your spot. Free demos with limited space can fill up quickly, so we recommend signing up early.
What’s included in a paid vs free event?
Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
No. These demos are live-only. If recorded, the footage is gifted to the artist and not shared publicly.
Can I attend an online event if I don’t live in BC?
Yes! Our online events are open to artists across Canada and beyond.
Where are events held?
We host events both in-store at select Opus locations and online via Zoom or other platforms. The location and format will always be clearly stated.
I registered but didn’t receive a confirmation email. What should I do?
Check your junk or spam folders first. If you’re still unsure, email Pamela Mark at pmark@opusartsupplies.com to confirm your registration.
What’s the difference between free and paid events?
Free events are short, demo-based sessions led by professional artists—great for inspiration and learning.
Paid events offer deeper, hands-on instruction with more time, materials, or exclusive access. They’re ideal for artists looking to grow their skills.
Some paid events are free or discounted for Artist and Creative Tier Members.
