This workshop explores how repeating patterns can become a language for storytelling. Participants will learn how tessellations can be used to build narratives. Through drawing, adding, subtracting, and arranging motifs, participants will create their own tessellated designs. They will also learn how to look at everyday objects differently and utilize their shape, form, and design to create newer visuals.
