Inspired by dynamic works in HOTA's Collection, this workshop explores creative expression and materiality in artmaking. Students will indulge their curiosity to think critically about how artists engage with various materials to achieve their intention, as well as the potentials and limitations of various materials from a scientific and design perspective.

Working with artistic elements and principles, this workshop will focus on textiles and fibre art as materials for artmaking.
