Meet the Workshop Teachers

Inge Frasch CZT

Inge is a CZT 21 and a former High School teacher, originally from Austria and now living in Bavaria, Germany. From the moment of discovering Zentangle, she recognized this was her destiny and became a CZT in 2015 in Providence. R.I. This allowed her to return to her true calling as a teacher. Inge has taught all age groups across Eastern Bavaria and Austria, including at the “School of Fantasy” in Straubing and in holiday programs in Lower Bavaria. Since the pandemic, she has transitioned to online teaching, offering workshops in both German and English. Since 2021, Inge, together with Martina Ramhapp from Switzerland, has been leading the monthly CZTonlineTreff, initially designed for German-speaking CZTs but now also open to English speakers. This format includes workshops for mutual exchange. Her workshop topics are diverse, but she has a special focus on historical themes, such as her popular “Book of Kells” workshops.

Henriëtte Robben CZT

Henriëtte is a CZTEU1 from Oisterwijk, Netherlands. She obtained her certification at the first European seminar in Germany in 2019, though her Zentangle journey began in 2014 when she first read about this art form. Becoming a CZT was one of her best decisions and Zentangle became her passion. She has participated in *Zentangle Beyond Language*, organized by Shie Naritomi CZT and had a remarkable experience leading a Zentangle session at the homeless shelter Dar Chabab in Barcelona, Spain. Henriette’s own online lessons are always recorded sessions, with minimal spoken language and subtitles. Henriette loves experimenting with color and the process of experimentation is just as valuable as the final result. She also offers in-person classes, teaching groups of all ages. Henriette’s family plays an important role in her life. She cherishes her time with her three sons and seven grandchildren, all of whom live close by.  Henriette has always had a passion for crafts.  Everything she creates is made with love and joy!

Hilde Van Ginhoven CZT

Hilde is from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Discovering Zentangle in 2014 was a life-changing event for her. Although trained in retail design years ago, Zentangle has brought creativity back into her life. Another astonishing discovery was that after years of failed meditation and mindfulness sessions, she found peace of mind in Zentangle and that drove her to reaching out to anyone who deals with an involuntary busy head and teaching them the Zentangle method. Hilde has a mission – “what helped me, can help another too” and became CZT 34 in Rhode Island.  She started teaching online in 2020 and also teaches in person classes at her home and in several international online courses.  Hilde runs the Annual Zentangle Summer ZIA course online, and the weekly Zentangle Café (with CZT colleague Erica van den Bosch). She is very active on the socials with the annual challenge “Advent Tangles.” The wonderful community of Zentangle gives her so much more in her life and the people she has met over the last 10 years, are like her family. You can find her at act2tangle.com where she also runs her webshop with Zentangle products and her handmade tiles.


Rohini Singh CZT

Rohini is a CZT 29 from India. She has been involved in the healing and self empowerment arena for over two decades. She is the author of a number of books, including the best seller “The Only Way Out Is Within.” Art, and teaching it, was never on her radar! And then, Zentangle happened. By a stroke of serendipity, she came upon the book One Zentangle a Day, by Beckah Krahula. More than the drawings, the philosophy of Gratitude, No Mistakes and Mindfulness echoed what she was already teaching. Certifying as a Zentangle teacher has brought her so much joy, love and above all, wonder. It unleashed the hidden artist within. With no formal training in the Arts, it has enabled Rohini to give full reign to her creativity. And to help others to do the same. To aid them to relax and find calm, even in the midst of turmoil. Rohini leads a weekly group, HeartSpace, that is quite the best two hours of her week! She has learnt so much from all the teachers presenting this year and feels honored to be on the same platform as them. 

Kelly Barone CZT

Kelly is an art educator, and artist who loves to play with new ideas. Working in watercolor, pen and ink, botanical alchemy and illustration, nature has a heavy influence on much of her work.

Owner of Whimsy by Kelly, you can find her in her studio located in the historic district of Allentown in Downtown Buffalo NY inside Hiraeth House. “I believe art is for everyone, my youngest student is 4 and my oldest is 97.

Yvonne Westover CZT

Yvonne is a Certified Zentangle Teacher ™ (Seminar 13) who also holds a degree in Fine Art. A life long artist, she often enjoys the process more than the outcome.
