Tuition: $275 [MMAM member rate: $250]
Join Water | Craft exhibiting artist Tali Weinberg for a hands-on workshop exploring how weaving can translate data, memory, and emotion into tactile form. Participants will begin by reflecting on landscapes and waterscapes meaningful to them, then learn to interpret climate data through color and pattern on small frame looms. The session combines discussion, observation, and creative making—transforming information about place and climate into woven studies that honor both scientific and personal relationships to the environment.
No prior experience with weaving or data is needed. All materials provided; all levels welcome.
