Master class – Sculptural paper-thread knotting using scoring grids
October 25 and 26, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This master class is for people who enjoy working with their hands and who have already practiced some form of craft, not particularly textiles.

Through this workshop, Nithikul Nimkulrat shares a knotting method she has developed, with which she creates sculptural works in paper string.

Over 2 days, participants will learn to use paper twine to create knotted works that follow two-color knot patterns from the knot library Nithikul Nimkulrat has developed using mathematical notation methods.

This class is intended for professional and emerging textile artists, as well as for professional artists in other craft and visual arts disciplines.

Prerequisites: fine manual dexterity.

Materials included; participants may bring scissors, ruler and masking tape.
