Shannon Sea Novaa is a Bahamian-American designer and interdisciplinary artist, has an intrinsic connection with shapes as her expressive and experimental language. Through fiber art, object design, sound, and performance, her works explore the interplay of form, meaning, and freedom. Harnessing the power of shapes and our ritualistic relationship to them, Sea Novaa pushes artistic boundaries, inviting audiences to expand their perception of the world.

This is a three-day program that will take place over three weeks. During the first day, students will learn the art of weaving and create a woven tapestry piece that represents their dreams and aspirations. They will be encouraged to think about what they hope to achieve and use materials, colors, and writings that symbolize their dreams. The students are encouraged to write their goals or words of inspiration on fabric strips, which can then be woven into the piece. These words can either be visible or discreetly nestled within the weave. The weaving process will teach students a new skill and help them reflect on their goals, aspirations, and to cultivate the idea that anything is possible. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a meaningful, artistic, and functional stool that serves as a reminder of their dreams but inspires them to turn their dreams into reality. This workshop not only teaches students the art of weaving and furniture design but also encourages them to think critically about their aspirations and how they can turn them into tangible objects.
