Fall 2018 Highlight #1--New York Textile Month

The Jefferson Textile Design Programs were honored to participate in New York Textile Month in September 2018. We held a Textile Design Showcase at the lovely showroom of Lori Weitzner in New York City. Alum Jessica Thies, of Lori Weitzner's studio, was instrumental in partnering with us for the event. The work of recent alums--Oluwabusola Duroshola (MSTD), Drew McKevitt (MSTD), Nina Nickerson (BSTD) and Marjorie Bertrand (BSTD)--was featured. We welcomed industry guests, prospective students, current students, alumni and interested members of the public to the pop-up exhibition. Please see a few images here below. Thank you to our wonderful alumni for sharing their work and to Lori and Jess for their amazing sharing of their studio.

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.
