The Life Rings Project is about making art that tells a story. Stories that spring from the textiles used to make art. The circular shape of Life Rings art is based on the growth rings of trees. Each concentric ring represents a year in the life of the tree. The rings tell the story of what the tree’s life was like.
Workshop students are asked to bring in textiles with personal significance or textiles that they assign meaning to. The session starts with photographically documenting each students’ textiles. Then the fun begins as textiles are cut into strips and wound into a circular motif. The final step is for each student to connect the visual story of their ring to a short, written passage. Through the process of documentation, deconstruction, reconstruction and the written word, the Life Rings Project offers people of all ages and life experiences a unique visual way to tell their personal story. This class is in partnership with the Billings Weavers Guild.

There will be a 1 hour break for lunch.
