In this dynamic mixed-media textile and painting class, students incorporate painting and drawing vocabularies into a variety of textile media. Students are encouraged to translate their personal imagery into fiber paintings, exploring formal conversations including color, mark making, foreground/background, and conceptual questions about memory, presence, and absence. Surface texture, narrative, and atmosphere are explored through the combination of methods and techniques. This experimental workshop is an opportunity for students to add new image making approaches to their studio practices, including image transfers, painting, and textiles.
