Caren Mlot

I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher™ (CZT) living in Mount Pleasant, SC. I teach classes to various age groups and am excited about spreading the love of Zentangle® to the greater Charleston area.

I first learned about the Zentangle Method several years ago and immediately was hooked. The fact that I could put pen to paper and create a beautiful drawing was amazing. The fact that it reduces stress and helps me relax was just an added benefit. I have, at various times in my life, designed beaded jewelry and stained glass. The simplicity of the Zentangle Method is quite different than either of those two media. There are minimal supplies needed, so it is very lightweight and portable. It is also very addictive. I find myself seeing tangle patterns in everything I look at, from architecture to fabric to nature. In addition to creating official Zentangle tiles, I have enjoyed applying the art of Zentangle to many different projects. Check out the Gallery to view some of my work.

After retiring from teaching elementary school, I relocated to South Carolina. In October, 2011, I packed my things and traveled to Providence, Rhode Island to be trained by the masters of Zentangle themselves, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. It was a wonderful experience, and I am proud to say that I am now a Certified Zentangle Teacher. I hope to spread the love of Zentangle to the residents of the greater Charleston area. Won't you join me on my journey?
