Description

This course covers the textile processes and techniques of woven, interlaced and constructed textiles with practical projects in tapestry, basketry, 3d interlacing and loom weaving. Weaving produces structures that can be used to make the finest of silk fabrics, define a shape or image in tapestry, create a texture or interlace any flexible material, metal or plastic to express a concept. Practical work in basketry, tapestry and loom weaving are complimented by historical, theoretical and conceptual references and information, providing an understanding of contemporary textile art and design practices involving woven structures.
