About the Workshop:
Kolams are intricate drawings created using rice flour, traditionally made by women in South India each morning at the thresholds of their homes. More than decoration, kolams are a daily ritual and an auspicious gesture. These designs often start with a matrix of dots, around which looping lines form mathematically complex patterns.
This two-part workshop, taught by Aarati Akkapeddi, begins with a discussion of the history of kolams and an introduction to a system they've developed for translating text into kolam patterns, which they apply to create prints using custom 3D-printed "legos". Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to create their own simple visual translation systems and in the second session, they will learn about the tools that can be used to create custom legos for printmaking. We’ll then use the custom kolam "legos" to hand-print our own designs, so that participants will leave with their own printed kolams!
Required Materials:
- Drawing utensils
- Notebook o paper for note-taking
