Description:

Drawing from the well of mystic folkloric tradition including witchcraft, Tarot, and ritual arts, Print Witchery explores printed cloth as strategic studio spellcraft. Working in the synergistic space between creative and spiritual practices, students design and print engineered compositions as poetic gestures and personal incantations.Along with symbol and form, this course investigates herbal potions and natural dyes—including magical indigo—to conjure deeper meanings. Students use hand and/or digital methods to design imagery and intentional print placement, produce color-separated sets of stencils, and print objects that may include clothing, accessories, and home textiles. Print layout and controlled strategies of block and screen printing are emphasized, with some construction coaching provided to produce finished items.At the 2000 level this course is open to students in ALL majors without prerequisites, but may be of special interest to Fashion, Furniture, and Interior Design students. Continuing or advanced students at the 3000 level focus on developing individualized direction through an in-depth investigation of techniques, materials, and content.
