AIMED AT: Creators of any discipline related to Textile, Design and Art; fashion designers, interior designers, set designers, architects, artisans and artists who want to develop their work through the textile material.
PRESENTATION
The experience of this course is aimed at generating a new vision around the textile, offering an interdisciplinary approach, as a creative and sensitive material that opens a new field for experimentation in terms of textures, shapes and volumes. We propose a reflection and dialogue between disciplines where the textile is positioned as fundamental link, investigating with different techniques and working with an experimental process. We will create textures, pleats and three-dimensional shapes based on the Japanese technique of shibori.
PROGRAM
- 1. Presentation. Fibers and textile processes. Applications.
- 2. Workshop textile experimentation: volume and shape. 3D forms.
- 3. Textile handling techniques:

OBJECTIVES
- To find a way of self-expression through the fabric.
- Develop the creative capacity of the student, from the material itself, through experimentation, knowing the possibilities of each material.
- Produce volumes and shapes that correspond to the material.
- Learn and investigate techniques and creative processes of transformation, so that they can enrich the students experience and give them the necessary to build relationships that will help strengthen their own language tools.
