2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

This contemporary craft-based course will offer hands-on demonstrations and assignments structured to develop skills in visible mending, felting, weaving and tapestry. The class will introduce contemporary artists, current writers and thinkers working with textiles, and what it means to mend, unravel and weave in our lives and art practices. Students will be supported and challenged at their individual skill level to develop projects that combine the learnt textile techniques with conceptual content. This unique course will conclude with two sessions on tapestry weaving from Janna Maria Vallee, an experienced fibre artist who specializes in tapestry instruction. No previous textile experience necessary.
