your treasure trove of Tangling goodness
A monthly membership to help you pause, de-stress, and create a calm, consistent tangling practice.
🎨🌀Are you ready to dive deeper into the captivating world of tangling? Join me on an exciting journey through the art of Zentangle at the exclusive Tangle Emporium. 🎉✨
Here’s the scoop: for just £35 per month, you can hop on board (instead of the usual price of £38 for just one monthly workshop) and enjoy a whirlwind of creativity and learning every month!
The Tangle Emporium is a wonderful site that is easy to navigate where we can share our tiles and inspiration with other like-minded creatives. I enjoy the tangling workshops and interacting with other tanglers on the site. In addition, there is a pattern library which is useful for inspiration, and an Ask Ruby section if there is something specific you need help with. I use the Emporium every day and love the Zoom sessions/workshops. A heartfelt ‘Thank you’ for the Tangle Emporium, Ruby Xx - Pauline

No pressure. No perfection. Just a calm, creative rhythm you can return to whenever you need it.
" I love Tangling with Ruby. She's so lovely, encouraging and really helpful. She's really helped me get creative and arty again. The pace and steps make it all so easy to learn. It's amazing what you can do when you have such a great teacher." - Charlotte
"I can Tangle - no really - I can. Not so long ago I didn't know what it was - but Ruby soon showed me, and it did actually open a skill I never in a million years thought I had. I would have looked at it and decided it was for "arty" people, but it turns out it is actually for anyone who can hold a pencil and draw lines. Ruby has a knack of being able to teach something to a "grown-up" who has become set in their ways, and convinced they were never able to do something that was outside their comfort zone. The teaching method is a way of bringing something out of me that I thought was not there in the first place - and she snuck up on me and did it without me knowing, it was her enthusiasm and relaxed teaching style that worked wonders.
There is something else - it turns out that Tangling is peaceful and takes my mind off the mundane daily issues that seem to cloud our quiet times and stop us from relaxing properly. I wonder if it is something that could be recommended as a therapy, as well as a creative hobby. Best of all, you can do it anywhere - you don't need a workshop or a whole pile of expensive equipment. Imagine - enjoying yourself without spending a fortune! Bonus!!"- Phil

"I just wanted to say how amazing Ruby is at teaching Zentangle and how much you can benefit from attending her workshops, either in person or online. I had the pleasure of joining a workshop to make a zen button back in February.
So I wanted to share with anyone who wasn't sure if joining the Tangle Emporium is for them. I can honestly say it is so worth doing. Ruby has a gift in teaching you how to make your own little zen masterpiece one stroke at a time. Thank you Ruby." Sabrina
Who is Ruby Mcguire?
I’m Ruby McGuire - a Certified Zentangle Teacher, Master Coach, Mentor, Trainer, Speaker and Author. I’m fascinated by the connection between creativity, mindset, and wellbeing, and how simple practices can help us slow down and reconnect with ourselves.
Through Zentangle®, I explore mindful pattern drawing that helps calm the mind and bring focus. It’s a gentle, meditative process where we create beautiful patterns one line at a time, without needing any artistic experience.
What Others Are Saying...
I love attending Ruby’s classes. She is so delightful to listen to, she makes the class fun, and I always learn something new from her!
Jacki Rose, CZT 15
I have always had a creative side to my nature crying out to be satisfied. However, until Ruby introduced me to Zentangle I have never before found the time or made enough time for art. Not only is learning to draw tangles enjoyable and rewarding, the results are amazing.
Chris Govan
I have been taking Ruby's Tangle Time every week for about 4 months. I struggle a lot with focus and calming my mind but Zentangle has helped with that immensely. Ruby is a fun and informative teacher. She is very patient and definitely keeps us in the Zen mode.
Jillian MacMillan
Ruby's workshop is amazing. She creates a fun and curious atmosphere. I encourage you to try out Zentangle. I love it already!

Tangle Emporium is for you if:
You want regular moments of calm - that actually happens.
You’re craving a creative outlet, but don’t know where to start, but you do know you don't want pressure or perfection.
You’re already tangling and want to build confidence and consistency.
You enjoy learning in a relaxed, supportive space.
You'd love to feel more focused, calmer, and a little more like yourself again.
No experience needed. Just curiosity, a pen and a little space to pause.
Instead of telling yourself you’ll “find time” to be creative, this gives you a hub and a structure where it’s already waiting for you.
A space to pause, pick up your pen, and feel that shift; from busy to calm, from scattered to focused.
It’s not about doing more, it’s about feeling better in the time you already have, and having a simple and supportive hub to return to.
There’s always a moment where shoulders soften, breathing slows, and everything feels a little lighter.
That’s what this space is here for.
