PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Challenge your perception of what can be created with textiles. Learn how fabric is made, how it behaves, and how to design, construct and manipulate it. Participate in the hands-on discovery of the science and techniques of fabric dyeing and pigmentation with some of Canada’s most respected fibre artists. You’ll explore fibre science, dye and pigments, needle work, surface design, embellishments, project designs and execution. Increasingly challenging projects will help you to meet your creative potential, and courses in design, colour, drawing and textile history will round out your education.
In our dedicated fibre arts studio you will have your own space to create and investigate the many dimensions and techniques of fibre arts. The studio is fully-equipped with industrial sewing machines and irons, sergers, a spinning wheel and looms. Develop your skills in our dye lab and professional-level darkroom, which has an over-sized vacuum table and equipment for silkscreening fabrics.
Equivalent to two semesters of full-time study, our intensive 15-week certificate programs provide over 600 hours of hands-on studio time. Each week you will work alongside a different faculty member who brings their unique perspective and expertise within the discipline to the studio. Limited enrolment ensures you have access to equipment and time to interact with faculty. You will also benefit from the guidance of experienced studio technicians and extended hours in the studio after class.
