Rowan College at Burlington County Students Explore Textile Design

On Friday October 23, thirteen students from Rowan College at Burlington County spent the day on campus exploring textile design. Professor Lisa Steinberg brought her students to PhilaU to participate in digital printing, jacquard weaving and computerized knitting workshops, with PhilaU Textile Design students, faculty and staff. Everyone had a great time, and made some wonderful textiles. The day culminated with an exhibition and reception at The Design Center here on campus. See the images below for a snapshot of the day.

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.
