Description
This course is designed to further develop individual studio practices in Fiber through projects, critiques, readings, research, and discussions. Equal focus will be placed on exploring advanced surface manipulation techniques. We will cover a variety of dye processes and methods for subtraction and addition of materials and marks for both natural and synthetic fabrics using immersion and direct application methods through a series of in-class workshops. Extensive sampling of each new technique and material with a personal exploration of the potential within each technique will be expected. Students will be introduced to professional practices in Fiber through writing artist statements and curating and presenting an exhibition of their work.
