Tangle U 2018

Tangle U is the premier continuing education event for CZTs.  Each year Tangle U attracts students from around the globe who gather for outstanding education, fun, sharing and surprises! Tangle U 2018 is in Portland Oregon at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Portland.  In our sixth year, we have an outstanding lineup of core classes that all registered students attend - that's 18 hours of instruction! AND we have  "extra credit" classes during the day on Thursday and on some evenings.  New this year more opportunity to get to know each other better! Thursday night we will share a catered meal! For "boarding students" the Embassy Suites offers a full cooked to order breakfast AND daily "happy hour" with complimentary food, wine, beer and soft drinks!   As always we include luncheon, snacks and beverages as well as a special Saturday evening banquet. Click here for F.A.Q.'s (coming soon)

Each evening wel have one classroom open (at no extra charge) for tangling, open mic, and socializing! This is a very popular option with "pop-up" classes and generous sharing of information!
Do you like to shop? Our vendor area has art supplies of course and all kinds of colorful things that you'll want to bring home with you! Interested in vending?
​
We will have a Student Gallery where you can display a favorite tile or ZIA - aways an amazing display! Keep in mind that everyone carries a camera so displaying your work means you're okay with others taking pictures of your work.
