Class Details

In this course we will investigate the transformative and sculptural potential of various fiber construction techniques including crochet, wrapping, netting, coiling, twining and interlacing. We will take a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject matter, addressing practical issues of making in addition to the history and cultural significance of the techniques and materials studied in class and their application to contemporary sculpture and installation. Through demonstrations, lectures, critiques, readings, and discussions, the course will focus on development of a personal language within the medium. Evaluation will be based on completion of material study assignments, written responses, and a final project. Attendance and participation will also be considered, with outside studio time expected.
