In the arts, “bricolage" refers to the "construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available”. In this course, students will learn techniques ranging from basic handweaving to fabric manipulation through origami folding methods. Processes will include painterly considerations and integration of yarn and threads, to adaptable tessellations using the modular forms formed from fabric manipulation. Participants will use a range of methods to produce unique compositions in a mixed media format. Each week will yield a sample or a sketch to illustrate the technique, form and aesthetic choices based on the demonstrations. The course will culminate with a series of pieces or a larger composition that will showcase each individual’s artistic sensibilities. Some craft experience is beneficial but not necessary.
