Fibers & Textiles
Express Your Artistic Vision
Practice traditional techniques and then apply them to create contemporary art objects that speak beyond technical expertise. Fiber and textile art exists in literally every culture on the planet. You'll be encouraged to explore work addressing personal philosophy, intellectual concepts and individual views on greater world issues.
