Description
Students will identify the materials, processes, and ideas that are important to their work and develop these areas through a variety of projects, readings, discussions, and critiques. The focus will be on beginning to develop research skills related to studio practice. 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 will be covered. Students are expected to have adequate technical skills in sewing, weaving, printing, dyeing, knitting or related textile medium to be able to work independently on extensive sampling and experimentation.
