Dawn Standera says she was never interested in craft of any form until she saw her first Cavandoli-style macrame bracelet while walking through a street fair in Mexico. She says it was if time stopped and since then she’s been devoted to learning as much as possible about making knotted pieces and promoting the art of knotting. She likes discovery in her knotting. She’s more interested in what is possible in knotting than the product that is made. Once she’s figured out if it’s possible, she’s quickly onto the next idea and challenge. She approaches her work without any concepts and preferences so she has a better creative experience.
