Sculptural Fibers
Session Two: June 2-14

Gabe Duggan
Sculptural Fibers

Building from traditions in weaving and off-loom processes, this workshop will explore unexpected approaches to fiber work. We will seek broader definitions of traditional techniques by re-situating media, technology, and approach, and through fundamental dynamics such as unification through tension and balance. Unconventional media will be welcomed and troubleshot collaboratively; we will consider implications of labor, gender, race, and class; space will be approached intuitively and calculatingly, invasively and non-invasively. Specific techniques covered could include 2-8 harness weaving, handspinning, felting, net/lacemaking, knitting, crocheting, stiffeners, etc. All levels.
Second-floor textiles studio.
