How many hours a day is your body in contact with cloth? Through such forms as garments, towels, napkins, or sheets, our bodies constantly interact with textiles as a second skin, means of survival, adornment, decoration and/or expression. In this intensive hands-on course, students explore the roles of handwoven functional textiles and their relationships between bodies both during and after production. Students will make cloth with the body, for the body while considering their end use as both a designed object and fine art process. Readings and presentations will accompany instruction in woven structures, weave drafting, historic cloth analysis, conceptual development, and comfort with fine, dense, long warps.
