Description
In this class we will create strategies and tools for seeing, observing, measuring, recording, and translating the world around us. For guidance, we will look to nature herself and the ways that time is recorded in the landscape, in geology, and in plants. We will think through making by being in, observing, and collaborating with time, light, and nature. We will look, breathe, meditate, grow, forage, look again, write, draw, walk, read, stitch, discuss, collect, weave, assemble, transform, and print. We will make our own tools for observing and for making, including our own pigments and dyes, while employing methods of textile construction and surface design such as knotting, knitting, dyeing, printing, and weaving to explore what it means to be a maker in uncertain times. We will be vulnerable, courageous, and generous with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Through marking the time we are in, we may hope to discover meaning along the way.
