Additional Information

Description

On Saturday, January 6, Arts Fort Worth hosts its Knot Just Another Workshop, led by instructor Shana Martin. In conjunction with her current exhibition Lifelines, Shana Martin will be offering a workshop teaching some of the knot-tying techniques used in the making of her artwork.

Lifelines focuses on materiality as a vehicle for representing my view of femininity within the larger context of the relationship between art, community, and rock climbing.

Knots are all around us and have been used throughout history for everything from record keeping to securing items. In this workshop, you will get a short lesson on this history as well as how it applies to my art making process. Then you will learn how to apply this knowledge to creating your own work of art.

All materials are included in the workshop fee. Participants are asked to bring an item that is personal or meaningful to them that they will use as inspiration for their work or can physically add to the project (photos, objects, clothing items, etc).
