Fiber Arts
Our fiber arts area builds strong skills in textile design and fiber construction while promoting experimentation with new methods and cultivating individual expression. Students gain direct experience with weaving, resist dyeing, and sewing as well as textile design techniques like stenciling, photo screen-printing and computer-aided design. Contemporary fiber arts practice allows opportunities to explore social issues and engage in collaboration with a community.
