What a Month Inside the Tangle Emporium Actually Looks Like

I get asked this a lot: "Ruby, what do you actually do in the Tangle Emporium each month?"

So let's pull back the curtain. Here's what a real month looks like, if you're one of my Emporium members.

It starts with just turning up

The whole idea behind the Tangle Emporium isn't "join a membership" or "learn Zentangle." It's simpler than that. I'm drawing every week anyway, string and tangles, pen in hand, and I've just made room for you to come and draw alongside me.

That's it. Come and draw with me.

Here's what actually happens in a month

Two Tangle Time Lives. An hour each, dotted through the month. We sit down together, I teach 4-5 simple tangles on small tiles, and we draw. No pressure, no "getting it right," just showing up and making some lines. Plus, you get to add new patterns to your personal pattern library.

One Workshop of the Month. A two-hour deep dive into something a bit more involved, whether that's a mosaic technique, a new tangle family, or a full piece start to finish. If you can't make it live, the replay's there for you.

One Tangle Exploration Session. An hour where we take a single tangle and explore it in lots of different ways, seeing just how much you can get out of one pattern.

The Pattern Library. Over 250 patterns and counting, all in one place, growing every month. No more hunting around the internet for how to draw something you half remember.

The Community Hub. A place to share what you've made, ask questions, and see what everyone else is up to.

But here's the bit that actually matters

Zentangle isn't just a nice hobby to me, and it's not just that for a lot of my members either.

I'm a mindset and coaching practitioner first, someone who's spent years helping people quieten the noise in their heads, and Zentangle is one of the best tools I've found for doing exactly that. When your pen is moving through a tangle, there's genuinely nowhere else for your mind to be. That's not a nice side effect; that's the whole point.

So a month in the Emporium isn't just four sessions and a workshop on a calendar. It's an hour here and there where your mind actually gets to stop spinning. It's permission to make something with your hands instead of scrolling. For a lot of us, myself included, that's not optional; it's necessary.

If that sounds like something you could do with, the Emporium's £35 a month, and you'd be very welcome to come and draw with me.
