Weaving: Concept & Construct (FIB-0145)

Fall 2023 · FIB 0145 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Explores weaving as process and idea through making, writing, record keeping, technology, and intervention. Considers the long history of woven objects alongside contemporary artists, designers and crafts people as makers and thinkers. Builds a virtual, collective, interactive weaving of information that brings together: histories, mythologies, economics, science, environmental impact, technology, and identity politics to help understand the complicated and intimate role cloth has and continues to play in human existence. Work on found looms, frame looms and backstrap looms and use traditional and non-traditional weaving materials and practices to develop a corporal knowledge of the techniques. Non-SMFA students and MAT Art Education students will receive a letter grade.
