Description:

This course is open to majors and non-majors from sophomore to graduate level. An in-depth exploration of traditional Shibori resist techniques are combined with alternative techniques such as heat setting to create sculptural surfaces, intricate patterns and complex, multi-layered pieces of cloth. Innovative solutions are encouraged in the investigation of color, pattern and composition while fabric is explored in relation to function and intent. Students are encouraged to master the technical aspects of Shibori and surface design techniques on fabric while also working toward developing their own visual, conceptual and innovative language through the projects.
