Chop Shop | 10-14-2025 TangleAddicts Class Recap

We were so excited to put together this class! It’s one of the top items people ask for help with after the question, “What is a chop?” A chop is a symbol that marks your work, like your initials or signature.

This class was inspired by the requests for help with creating chops AND CZT Alyssa “Aly” Herget’s book, “Tangle Explorations“. She has a nice chapter on creating chops, however as we talked about doing this class, she created seven additional pages of content to further help. Aly has graciously made this available to those that are taking this class.

Thank you Aly for all of your work on this and leading us through your process of creating our chops!

The replays of these sessions are available to Tangle Addicts Club members and those that paid for the class individually. Click HERE if you would like to purchase the class replays or contact me (Heather@tangleaddicts.com). A note about my class replays. They are done with very little editing. Each class allows for everyone to do what they want, or follow along with what I’m doing, or what Mom is doing. You can see this in the results below. We share ideas and techniques as we go, and you never know when an amazing idea will present itself. That is the brilliance of Zentangle®
