Event Planning
2023-2025

Untangle Workshop is a hands-on, reflective design session that invites participants to engage with the metaphor of “untying” emotional or personal knots through material play. Grounded in slowness, care, and sensory exploration, this workshop encourages storytelling through texture, color, and form. Using soft materials like string, fabric scraps, paper, and everyday objects, participants will create evolving compositions that explore themes of vulnerability, identity, and emotional release.
