Library Creatives: Telling Your Story through Abstract Forms

• • In this interactive workshop led by exhibiting artist Ahchipaptune, participants will learn how to transform personal stories into abstract visual forms. Attendees will explore how elements such as form, line, plane, point, interaction, and hierarchy guide visual understanding and patternmaking. The workshop also emphasizes oral tradition—the act of sharing stories in a contemporary voice—to help artists connect directly with their audience. Through guided prompts, participants will practice accessible ways of talking about art and discover tools to express their ideas authentically. All attendees are encouraged to build confidence in telling their own story while deepening their understanding of abstraction and its expressive potential. 

Space is limited, so please see a staff person at the Info desk 30 minutes prior to the start of the program to pick up a ticket which will be your registration. We will be beginning the program in the Gallery for a quick tour, then adjourning to the Loft for our craft activity.
