She worked as a Mechanical Engineer for 5 years before starting Unknot, her art studio and brand in 2024.

Weaving these interests together has led to three paths of research and art practice: 1) weaving and knotting whimsical, wearable art, and designing tools that make it possible, 2) testing traditional fiber art techniques and technologies on secondhand and discarded materials, and 3) exploring education strategies for these traditional arts in ways that feel accessible and approachable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eArtist and engineer Sitoë Thiam will teach you macramé fundamentals and a few basic knots to transform old, retired climbing rope into a sculptural wall hanging of your own design! You’ll get a brief history on the art of knotting, then dive into some hands-on instruction for how to make the Square knot and many of its variations. Next, Sitoë will cover some composition rules and tips. Finally, you’ll get to design and knot your own climbing rope wall hanging to bring home and adorn your space! The workshop is designed for all skill levels and is beginner friendly.
