This course will encourage students to bring together craft techniques and contemporary art. They will learn basic skills in rug hooking, appliqué, and fabric printing using stencils and cyanotype. Projects will be organized around the themes of mementos and monuments with spaciousness for individual interests. Contemporary textile artists as well as other artists working with mementos and monuments will be introduced weekly for inspiration and to learn from. Previous experience with the craft skills and art mediums are not necessary; students will be supported and challenged at their skill level. Suitable for all levels.
