Not for the weak of heart, this class is a bold and experimental introduction to dyeing, painting, printing, and surface development on textile substrates. Through a range of layered processes including the use of thickened dyes, textile pigments, paste resists, selective color removal, and Thermofax technology, we will explore themes around gesture, abstraction, and mark making. Readings, lectures, and class discussions will highlight histories of color, alchemy, decoration, and taste in our quest for exuberant cloth expressions. This class is suitable for designers and fine artists alike. Bring an apron, and prepare to roll up your sleeves: we are about to get messy. We will be back in our beautiful Textile Studios! Hybrid course sections will be delivered both online and in-person. Required online synchronous meeting times are listed as the meeting pattern for this course section. Additional course components will be delivered asynchronously or in-person as outlined in the syllabus.
