Topics in Experimental Textiles, ONLINE 4-week seminar Nov
This class will begin on Wednesday, November 5, 12, 19, 26, from 6 pm – 7:30 pm CENTRAL US TIME, Location: ONLINE via Zoom | Taught by Dee Clements | All classes will be recorded and shared with the class.
Join this four-week online course exploring experimental approaches to textiles and weaving in contemporary art. Each session includes a 40-minute lecture highlighting artists who use fibers, off-loom processes, and 3D weaving conceptually and sculpturally, followed by a group discussion and project sharing. Designed for artists and makers working with or curious about textiles, this course fosters conversation, reflection, and connection across fiber-based practices. We will look at artists like Alan Shields, Miguel Arzabe, Dienke Dekker, Katy Kirbach, Zoe Paul, and so many more.
(Please note that this is not a techniques class, and there will be no demonstrations. This four-week class will be conducted in a lecture and discussion format, serving as a survey of the subject. It aims to foster a community among participants, encouraging connections through their work and around the craft of weaving and textiles.
The class will cover both traditional and non-traditional methodologies and materials of weaving, including dimensional weaving such as new basketry, topics in off-loom textile weaving, experimental fibercraft, and contemporary weaving with association to broader historical and cultural contexts.
*Classes will be recorded, and students will have access to each recording for 10 days after the class. A Zoom link will be emailed to participants one week before class begins.
