Everything is Connected: A Two-Day Workshop with Visiting Artist Patrizia Ferreira
Everything is Connected: A Two-Day Workshop with Visiting Artist Patrizia Ferreira In-Person
Discover how everyday materials can be transformed into art! Join local multimedia artist Patrizia Ferreira at the Scott Northern Wake Library for Everything is Connected, a two-day workshop and artist residency event open to all Wake Tech students, faculty, and staff. Together, we’ll explore sculptural textiles, spatial design, and collaborative art-making.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to create ropes and nets from repurposed plastic bags, using simple knotting techniques that show how individual strands gain strength when woven together. The pieces you make will become part of a larger, site-specific installation that will go on display in Spring 2026.
About the Artist
Patrizia Ferreira is a multimedia artist whose sculptural textiles explore environmental systems through hand-knitting, embroidery, and found-object construction. Her practice encourages reflection on the interconnectedness of ecosystems and human systems, while providing inclusive, accessible opportunities for learners of all skill levels.
