3.00 Credits
This program has been established to provide practical experience for students in the Glass area that is relevant and useful to the student’s course of study. This experience may include: the creation of crafts, art sales, design; the acquisition of business skills, as well as the participation in retail and wholesale craft exhibitions. A written proposal must be developed and agreed upon in advance of the beginning of the semester, describing the intended setting of the Field Internship and the time commitment that must equal at least eight to ten hours per week for the full semester (13 weeks). Note: In order to get credit for this Field Internship, the student must agree to write a comprehensive paper as described in the guidelines for the Tyler Field Internship Program.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the stitch as a form of mark-making, exploring surface and structural applications such as embroidery, applique and quilting. Image transfers on cloth and free beading will also be explored. Projects will emphasize combining these “traditional” techniques with contemporary art issues and practices.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the transformation of traditional and nontraditional materials to three-dimensional forms, surfaces, and spaces. The exploration of pliable materials will be realized through hand and machine stitching, mark making, embellishment, felting, stuffing, and manipulation of armature. Students are encouraged to develop a personal direction in soft sculptural practice, with emphasis on material investigation and research. Individual and group critiques and discussion of both historic and contemporary artists and concepts augment the course.
-
3.00 Credits
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. Historical and contemporary issues and practices involving Shibori are explored through readings, slide lectures, field trips and class discussions.
Prerequisite:
CRAFTS 2305 (0105)

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the structure and construction of body wear. Body wear has the ability to change the wearer into another being. It expresses bold emotion and explosive creativity. Students will be encouraged to regard the human body itself as the object to “wear” and design innovative creations to address this topic. All cultures tap into power, real or imagined, of dress. After the mid-20th century, society entered into a mass consumption and production of garments and clothing. Students will be encouraged to break from the trend of universal uniformity and think beyond the idea that only fabric can be used to make garments.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the exploration of the histories and techniques involved in the construction of clothing, costume, fashion, and haute couture. The term clothing implies protection against the elements and to preserve modesty. Costume functions beyond simple utility, becoming a means of seduction by enhancing nature, or adding artificial attraction. Fashion and haute couture indulges the fantasy of the creator. Students will be encouraged to explore their own interpretations of these terms through construction: machine knitting, crochet, hand and machine sewing, and embroidery. Students may also experiment with documentation methods, including performance, fashion shows, photography, and video as media to exhibit cumulated work.
-
3.00 Credits
This course involves the exploration of alternative materials not primarily intended or used by fiber artists. Products such as Tyvek, rubber, adhesives, found and recycled materials will be combined with processes such as collage, layering, stitching, and heating.
This is a course open for enrollment to majors and non-majors from sophomore to graduate level. The exploration of alternative materials will be used in conjunction with other media and unconventional methods of joining to create a strong, sculptural surface. Technical demonstrations, field trips, and conceptual problems with an emphasis on the process of collecting will be used as a basis for the creation of unconventional work. Students will be encouraged to experiment with these materials and processes in combination with media from other disciplines. Students will create work based on a personal direction discovered through the course. Areas of focus for study include two and three dimensional forms, functional and nonfunctional constructions
-
3.00 Credits
This course involves the exploration of printing processes that utilize the computer as an image generator. Creative scanning and manipulation of images on the computer using Photoshop will be introduced. These images will then be printed utilizing numerous digital printing surfaces on a variety of fabrics, papers, and plastics. This course will also involve the use of uncommon imaging techniques including Xerox, Polaroid, heat and solvent based transfers. Basic bookbinding and papermaking techniques will also be introduced. Students are encouraged to develop a personal vocabulary by combining these techniques with images and found, purchased and recycled materials as well as media from other disciplines. Historical and contemporary issues and practices involving digital media are explored through slide lectures, readings, class discussions, and field trips. Note: Previous course title was “Digital Printing Fabric.”
Prerequisite:
FND PRG 1541 (0005)/1542 (0006). Special authorization required for non-majors
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis will be on three-dimensional constructions using nontraditional materials. Miniature forms will also be explored.
Prerequisite:
CRAFTS 2317 (0117)
-
3.00 Credits
Exploration of dyeing and printing including space dyed ikat and printing on the woven surface.
Prerequisite:
CRAFTS 2318 (0118)
