Hey, Atlanta, ever notice things on your walk that pique your interest?

Create a woven portrait of Atlanta, using found objects and materials that capture the essence of the city! Join local mixed-media fiber artist Amanda Banks, creator of the series walking/weaving: portrait of a place and time (pictured above), for a hands-on afternoon inspired by our Threads of Change workshop series. Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop combines a guided walk through Atlanta with creative exploration.

How it works:

Discover the city’s stories: Begin at MODA. Take a guided walk through Atlanta’s Midtown, observing the sights, sounds, and textures of your environment.

Collect meaningful materials: Gather unique objects from your surroundings—textures, colors, and shapes that inspire you.

Create your artwork: Weave these found materials into your own one-of-a-kind portrait of Atlanta, guided by Amanda’s expertise and insights.

Learn from the artist: Enjoy an inspiring talk from Amanda about her creative process and her walking/weaving project.

By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave with a completed woven artwork that tells your story of Atlanta and fresh ideas for combining creativity with your environment.
