Knot Together

Inspired by the traditional fishing nets and nautical knots featured in To Catch a Fish , our newest Together workshop series, Knot Together , explores the art of macramé. The series is led by Sitoë Thiam, a fiber artist and mechanical engineer who bridges technical precision with organic expression. As the founder of Unknot, a design studio specializing in knotting and weaving, she brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective to the world of fiber arts. Knotted Rope Wall Hanging In September, learn to transform rope into a sculptural wall hanging. You’ll explore four foundational knots, building a rhythmic, colorful composition that celebrates the tactile beauty of fiber. The Together series at Mingei invites makers of all skill levels to come together and create in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Past iterations— Sew Together, Weave Together , Dye Together , Stitch Together , and Clay Together —explore a variety of craft techniques while emphasizing collaboration, experimentation, and hands-on learning. Each workshop encourages participants to connect with materials, try new skills, and enjoy the process of making together.
