In the contemporary movements of the handmade, the act of weaving has proliferated as an expressive, experimental language to explore formal concerns, concept, materiality, performance, function, and cross-disciplinary intervention. As one of the oldest forms of material culture, weaving has the unique ability to negotiate boundaries between structure, cultural histories, and the body-notions critical to dialogues surrounding contemporary practice. This course will now be taught fully online, with an emphasis on high- and low-tech strategies. Digital and analogue techniques include woven design software, hand-drawn weaving drafts, and centuries old global weaving processes such as backstrap and card weaving. Weaving courses rotate content by semester and year and include Painting the Loom; Loom Logic; Weaving to Dye For; Vagabond Weaving; and Hardcore Weaving.Online course sections will be delivered with both asynchronous and synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus.
