Textile Design Workshop--Day Three

On the third day of the textile design workshop, students enjoyed a presentation by Anastasia Frandsen, Senior Designer of American Silk Mills. Beautiful jacquard and dobby textiles were shown, prior to the day focused on woven design. Images from Day Three are here below:

The Bachelors of Science in Textile Design and Masters of Science in Textile Design programs provide integration and balance between creative design and technology. In the undergraduate program, students explore weaving, knitting and printing, with the opportunity for advanced course work in the areas of their choice. Students in the graduate program are required to specialize in one area (knit, weave or print), but are encouraged to incorporate the other areas of textile design through their foundation courses, elective or design studio work.

Design research is stressed from the beginning of the programs. Being in the a major city is a great resource as is The Design Center at Jefferson with its textile collection from around the world.
