What’s it all about?
Exploring the world of lovely flowing patterns, curves, curls and more! Also expanding your pattern vocabulary and continuing our exploration of this highly addictive art form.
This Creative Meditation art form is a gateway to relaxation, meditation and mindfulness. Aside from being an enjoyable activity, mindfully doodling with flowing lines will help you achieve that wonderful Zen-like meditative state with benefits for your mental and physical well-being.
It is easy, fun and portable – so put down the yoga mat and pick up a pen instead!
Anyone can do it with no artistic talent needed. All you need is a desire to try something new and fun!
Warning: Side effects can include outbursts of spontaneous creativity with associated smiling, growing sense of tranquillity and a burgeoning passion for fine pens and papers!
What will we cover?

What will you need?
- Paper
- Your favourite pens – ideally a fine liner
- A pencil (just in case)
