Relics and Reliquaries: Embellishing Objects of Meaning

Exploring the theme of personal relics, students in this workshop will use embellishment techniques on tulle to create a reliquary that will house an object of meaning.The goal of the workshop is for each student to create a series of technical samples and one finished piece. Samples will include embroidery, beading, and needle-run lace techniques on tulle. Students should bring a variety of personal objects to choose from.These might include garments, dishes, shoes, jewelry, photographs, hair, linens, notes, toys, flowers, etc. We will take inspiration from museum collections, work by fiber artists, personal shrines, rituals, and performances as we develop project concepts, ideas, and sketches.
All levels. Third-floor textiles studio.
