In this workshop, you will be introduced to the basic and common macrame knots (square knots and half-stitch knots) and get to create your own plant hangers, mini wall hangs or keychains! Facilitated by @beadedsoul_, a homegrown business that creates handmade bohemian-inspired accessories, bags and home and wall decor and also offers customisation for their products through sewing, hand embroidery or painting.
This workshop is curated by Straits Records for “we are not going back, we are coming around”, The Substation’s programme for National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum’s Proposals for Novel Ways of Being.
About Straits Records
Straits Records is a legendary name in Singapore's music scene, championing regional and local music since it was established in 1995. After moving out of its brick and mortar store along Bali Lane, the indie record store has been operating out of owner Ridhwan Ghany's home. Visit the Straits Records’ pop-up at The Substation’s box office for some crate digging of vintage vinyl and iconic CDs while sipping on a cuppa to support your friendly local business and favourite music bands. The store also doubles up as a community space, hosting local artists who will be conducting diverse workshops.
About Proposals for Novel Ways of Being
The Substation is proud to be one of the 12 local art institutions, independent art spaces and collectives coming together for Proposals for Novel Ways of Being. Led by National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum, Proposals for Novel Ways of Being is an unprecedented collective response by the visual arts community to present a series of exhibitions and programmes, both physical and online. Its title references an earlier name of the virus, i.e. '2019 Novel Coronavirus', which serves as a reminder that we need new ways of being as we grapple with a new reality brought about by this pandemic.
More details of The Substation's programme for Proposals for Novel Ways of Being will be released soon.
