This course will expose students to culture, principles and materials that encompass fabric creation. This knowledge will cover the explicate differences involved in protein fibers (silks/wools/mohair), cellulose fibers (cotton/linen/hemp), synthetic fibers and how they interact with dyes, pigments, muds, and ochre, in addition to the impact they have in the environment.
