Art X: Fiber Art and Textile Design

Students will learn about traditional and culturally significant art forms made from threads, yarns, and woven materials. Exploration in basic design is followed by applied techniques including stitching, printing, and appliqué, weaving and dying of textiles. Guest speakers, slides and videos are used to illustrate the value of textiles in our environment. There is no requirement of previous sewing experience but solid craft will be stressed.
