Building from traditions in textile arts, we will challenge preconceptions of the discipline by exploring a range of materials and unexpected approaches to fiber work. Beginning with research on historical contexts of the inextricable link of fabric to our bodies, and archaic conceptions of art vs. craft, we will pivot to embracing new perspectives on an interdisciplinary and experimental fiber future. Principles of the practice, including unification through tension and balance, resistance, and collaboration will serve as our inspiration. Through investigation of structural processes, students will gain embodied knowledge to manifest their creative and research-driven voice through fibers.
