Host a Teasles Party!

Want to do something special with a group of friends?

Why not host a Teasles Party?

All you need is enough table/working space to comfortably seat your guests. You may also want to provide some refreshments for the break.

This is a great way to have a fun and creative time together. Be sure to tell your guests that artistic ability is not necessary. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to have fun, and you'll amaze yourself with what you'll come up with.

The instructions are easy to follow. Even patterns that at first glance seem complicated will be broken down into simple, easy steps that anyone can do.

Contact me and book your party today.

Take a Teasles Class

Check out the classes listed on the website.

I'm planning to do a Basics class shortly, so if you're interested, please contact me and let me know - I'll get in touch as soon as I have the details finalized.

Yes, you can certainly do a lot of this on your own, but there is something special about doing it with others. For one thing, because it's fun. For another because there is such a wealth of ideas that come out of a class - not just from the instructor, but from the other students as well.

Do join me for a class soon.

Patterns on the Website

There are now several basic patterns on the website such as the one below. Each pattern comes with instruction steps and a number of variations to get your creativity flowing.

Finding Patterns All Around You

Patterns are so much a part of our life that we often don't even notice them.

For example, here are four patterns I found on the insides of envelopes when I opened my mail this morning. What patterns would you create from these?



Welcome!


Welcome to Dancing Pen Teasles.

I've long enjoyed using patterns and designs in my artwork, calligraphy and elsewhere. So I've decided to share some of the patterns and ideas I've discovered along the way.

I hope that you will enjoy the ideas presented here and on the website.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me.

Enjoy,
Evelyn Grace Marinoski
