Description

This course has been specifically designed for non-majors or transfer students into Fiber. This is a unique opportunity for those interested in exploring the potential of loom woven form. Basic weave structures as well as fundamentals of more complex patterning and principles of weaving tubes and pockets will be explained. A wide variety of materials traditionally used in weaving as well as options of non-traditional linear elements will be covered. Students will be encouraged to explore functional applications of woven cloth as well as non-functional approaches to woven form. All students have access to 8-Harness floor looms in a well-equipped studio.
