art workshops

We offer workshops that bring people together to imagine the nose as a tool for empowerment and connection through narrative making, art and play. 

The four session workshop combines artmaking and practical sewing skills for community members to gather - in honoring the nose - and reconnect with their bodies as a source of wisdom, laughter, reflection and expression.

Participants learn hand sewing and sculpting techniques to create their own fabric nose sculptures. The workshop was created and facilitated for a bi-lingual audience (english and spanish).

By Word of Nose workshop has been presented independently and in partnership with Unlocal, Org where it was co-facilitated by Kat Geng-Caraballo and, curator, Eva Mayhabal Davis.

If you would like to discuss bringing a workshop to your organization, please email bywordofnose@gmail.com

The workshop at Unlocal, Org was made possible though funding by the LMCC arts organization.

From our participants

  • The By Word of Nose workshop helped me build a stronger connection with my nose, my skin, and my identity.

    It made me feel proud of these parts of myself, which isn’t always easy as an adoptee, given the disconnect I often feel from my culture and my people. This workshop wasn’t just about sewing a nose—it was about reconnecting with and embracing a part of me that I’ve struggled to appreciate.”

  • Attending Kat's nose workshop was such a rewarding experience!

    The hands on guidance & supportive atmosphere made it enjoyable and relaxing. It was a perfect blend of art, creativity and fun. It wasn't just about creating, it was about self recognition and enbracing the beauty in every detail of who I am, a subtle reminder to appreciate the intricate ways we connect to ourselves.
