NICOLE SWEENEY
GEOMETRIC WOOD PATTERN PLAY
This workshop can be explored in so many ways... Geometric Pattern Play is derived from Nicole's detailed designs of triangular pieces modified into dozens of different patterns and styles. We are sending along paint, stain, and varnish to tailor your final piece. This creation, for example, may turn into a work of wall art, a gorgeous tray for the home, a candle trivet... and so many other ideas. In addition, we have shared mini videos on Instagram to show the many different creative options!
Our artist is from San Francisco, California. She works out of her home studio and creates commissioned art for homes and galleries around the world. Since filming Making It (a friendly match on NBC hosted by Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler), Nicole began her foundation. Nicole seeks to empower women through storytelling and photography called "Sawdust is Sexy." Above all, Nicole actively shares the message that doing what you LOVE (power tools and all) is what is most important. In short, be true to yourself and your art. Nicole's inspiration comes from a background in ballet and her bachelors in architecture. "I design with a greater sensitivity to human form so, I seek to dissolve the boundary between artists and those that interact with it."
