Students will process fiber into linear elements, construct flat and three‑dimensional textile structures, and manipulate those textiles with both wet and dry surface techniques. The rich history of textile and fiber arts as well as cutting‑edge textile innovation will serve as the foundation for student inquiry for this material‑driven course.
