iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

finally put together my samples + workshop description for my decorative knot workshop at QNS Collaborative in November! It might be a little ambitious to try and fit in everything I have planned into 2 hours, but I believe I can do it lol. I'm so excited to see what my students will make!
