The textiles program deals with concepts, design, and
color as they relate to woven and nonwoven fiber structures, as well as
to the surface decoration and manipulation of fabric. Students are introduced
to a variety of processes and encouraged to investigate at least one in
sufficient depth to make it their own. The equipment is superb: multi-harness
floor looms, including a computer-interfaced loom and a TC-1 electronic
hand jacquard loom; large, padded printing tables; serger and sewing machines
and a heat press; and networked computers, scanner and printers for digital
textile design. The dye facility is well-ventilated and has ample sinks
and stove tops, a washer, refrigerator and dryer, a dye-mixing hood and
eyewash fountain, and a large drying area with a floor drain.
Visiting artists and designers regularly give public lectures and conduct
workshops, and internships in weave design are often available for students
with digital weaving experience. Students may also join the Textile Design
Guild, a student-run organization that sponsors exhibitions, lectures,
workshops and field trips.
