TEXTL-2500: Handwork Level 2

Course Description

Textile Sculpture is defined as the creation of three-dimensional form through the manipulation of flexible linear elements. Historically used to build functional objects, techniques such as knitting, crocheting, and embroidery were commandeered by makers in the revolutionary fiber art movement of the 1960s. Because these alternative methods of construction continue to invite critical reflection on themes such as gender, domesticity, and labor, artists in many disciplines are employing these materials and methods to reinvent their sculptural and performative practices in the twenty-first century. In these hands-on courses, students experiment with structure, texture, pattern, tension, density, gravity, and three-dimensional form while addressing content. Courses rotate content by semester and year and include Knit One/Purl One; Hand Tech; Skin and Bones; and Narrative Stitching.
