Welcome to Introduction to Textile Media—a glimpse into the technical, historical and conceptual grounding of this medium. The class covers spinning, weaving, hand and machine sewing, silk screen and block printing on fabric, embellishment, piece-work, quilting, and felting. Technical exploration, complimented by the study of historical precedent and contemporary practice, supports students in exploring textiles as an expressive medium.
