SECTION DESCRIPTION
In this experimental sculptural textile studio elective, students will explore methods for building form through textiles. Through experiments and demonstrations students will gain a variety of foundational skills that will inform individual exploration and investigation of the relationship between textiles and three-dimensional form. Techniques will include rope-making, knot-making, weaving, felting and stitching explored alongside sculptural techniques such as armature building and casting. Furthermore, students will be introduced to a variety of surface treatments, including basic painting, dyeing and embellishment techniques. Through lectures, demonstrations, readings and discussions we will investigate various issues at the intersection of textiles and sculpture in a curious and experimental approach.
