Romi Marks will be providing online classes via Zoom every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Romi has an art studio degree from Sonoma State and has been practicing the visual arts since childhood. She is a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), educated by the creators of Zentangle, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Romi has been practicing and teaching Zentangle for many years, teaching at San Rafael Public Library since 2017.
Zentangle is a fun, relaxing and easy-to-learn art form that uses repetitive patterns to create beautiful images while improving focus and creativity. This new art form can be enjoyed by anyone, from beginners to professionals, providing artistic satisfaction and personal well being.
In this class you will delve in to the Zentanglemethod while creating a beautiful composition. Learn to draw patterns and use shading and color techniques to bring this Zentangle inspired composition to life. There will be a short guided meditation and lots of step by step instructions. This class is two hours so please plan accordingly. Join the call a few of minutes early so we can all begin on time. As space is limited, be respectful of the library and your fellow students by attending the class you have signed up for. If you sign up show up.
For beginners, you can pick up a one-time, free starter kit at the upstairs adult reference desk at the San Rafael Library (1100 E Street). The kit contains 4 – 4.5 x 4.5 Zentangle tiles, one Micron 05 pen, and colored pencils.
If you think you’ll be attending more classes, stock up on these supplies online or from your local art store:
After registering you will receive an email from tangledyogi@romiart.com with the Zoom link.

HONORING THE DEAD: FUNERARY PRACTICES IN ANCIENT ASIA
Rituals that honor and respect the dead are part of all cultures and religions.

Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy celebrates the extraordinary designs of Guo Pei—hailed as China’s first couturier—and the exhibition at the Legion of Honor includes more than 80 works from the past two decades highlighting her most important collections shown on Beijing and Paris runways. Through exquisite craftsmanship, lavish embroidery, and unconventional dressmaking techniques, Guo Pei creates a fantasy that fuses the influences of China’s imperial past, decorative arts, European architecture, and the botanical world. Through her extraordinary fashions, the exhibition reveals the trajectory of Guo Pei’s career as remarkable yet emblematic of China’s emergence as a leader in the fashion world in the early twenty-first century.
