TEXTILE DESIGN: PRINTING AND DYEING II

DS 101

This survey class will be an introduction to the technical and conceptual ways of working in Textile Design. Students will participate in three five week modules: one module introducing print and dye concerns, one module introducing off-loom processes, and one module introducing structural enrichment techniques and concepts. Each module will include a series of introductory exercises leading to a final larger project. The work in each module will be supported by short readings and slide lectures highlighting historical and contemporary work. Course fee: yes.

DS 327

Pattern design for textiles, wallpaper and other applications (motif, layout, repeats, colorways, coordinates), using various manual and digital creation methods. Development of imagery, design concepts, collaboration and presentation.

DS 319

Explore specific dye and manipulation techniques that directly relate to integrated textile and garment design. Working with color, composition and fabric movement discuss simple garment shapes and how they can be used in conjunction with expressive textiles.

DS 428

Opportunity to continue creative research introduced in Textile Embellishment I, with a special emphasis on student driven design. Advance skill and vision using traditional and experimental ways of altering and enriching the surface of pliable materials using techniques such as stitching, embroidery, beading, and fabric collage. Identify and pursue individual conceptual concerns. Readings, formal and informal presentations, group and individual critiques will support the work. Presentation of research will include formal power point talks and physical presentation of the completed textile works.

DS 227

Surface design developed in print and resist techniques using historic and contemporary methods.
