Woven Abstractions - DIY Multimedia Weaving Art Workshop

Woven Abstractions invites participants to weave on cardboard looms with traditional and non-traditional materials. Participants will also be asked to create watercolor paintings, drawings, or writings to shred, cut, or rip apart to include in their weavings.

This workshop will be led by our amazing Teaching Artist, Bryana Bibbs, a Chicago-based artist who works at the intersection of textiles, painting, and community-based practices. Bryana earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Fiber and Material Studies at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the founder of “The We Were Never Alone Project - A Weaving Workshop for Victims and Survivors of Domestic Violence” and serves on the Surface Design Association’s Education Committee. Bibbs has exhibited at galleries such as Chicago Artists Coalition, Praxis Fiber Workshop, Purple Window Gallery, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid. Recent awards and residencies include The Lunder Institute for American Art Summer Residential Fellowship, Surf Point Foundation Artist Residency, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
