In-Person at MODA
Geared Towards Adults
What is Make @ MODA?
Make @ MODA is a workshop for adults who are curious about design, materials, and how things
are made. Each session combines guided prompts with hands-on exploration, inviting participants to experiment, learn new processes, and create in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.
It’s about process, curiosity, and learning by doing—no experience required.
About This Session
What happens when you stop erasing and start repeating?
This MAKE @ MODA workshop is part of a hands-on series inspired by the book Do More Art: Print, which encourages experimentation, curiosity, and confidence through simple design exercises.
In this session, carbon paper becomes a creative tool for exploring repetition, transfer, and variation. Guests will layer marks, adjust pressure, and rework imagery to see how small shifts can create rhythm, movement, and depth. Rather than aiming for a single polished outcome, the focus is on process and noticing how ideas evolve through repetition.
This workshop stands on its own, but also connects naturally to the larger Do More Art–inspired series for guests interested in building design skills over time.
What To Expect:
Carbon paper as a creative tool. Experiment with transfer, tracing, and layered mark making.
Repetition with intention. Explore how copying and shifting marks create visual rhythm
and variation.Guided experimentation. Design prompts that support exploration without over-directing
the process.
Perfect for adults curious about design and process-based making, this workshop blends hands-on exploration with design thinking. You will leave with a small series of layered works and a new appreciation for what repetition can do.
Registration: $32.50 | $22.50 for MODA members
