Tangle Emporium is your space to slow down, pick up your pen, and reconnect with your creativity.
Inside, you’ll find a blend of guided workshops, regular sessions, and a growing pattern library: all designed to help you feel calmer, more focused, and quietly confident in your tangling.
No pressure. No perfection. Just a calm, creative rhythm you can return to whenever you need it.
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.


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!

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.

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.

Ruby's workshop is amazing. She creates a fun and curious atmosphere. I encourage you to try out Zentangle. I love it already!

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.
