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.

Our Fibers Arts Area is comprised of:

A weaving studio complete with a variety of looms including a Digital Dobby Loom, floor looms and large tapestry looms
An area for dying and batik
A silk screen washing room
Large silkscreen printing tables
Large screen capacity silk screen printing image exposure unit with accompanying darkroom
Sewing Machines
