Experiment – bachelor's programme in Textiles

First year students at the bachelor's programme in Textiles display experiments produced in a weaving course. The students have been tasked with reflecting on their relation to weaving as a technique.

The course started with short workshops, one about the quality of the material and the thread in relation to language, and one about placement of colour in a woven construction.

We have had text seminars, and it is from the text "Weaving beyond the binary"’ by John Paul Morabito that we have chosen a quote that describes weaving as a method of creating knowledge and experiences:

"MATERIAL REALITY SHAPES NOT ONLY THE WEAVER'S APPROACH TO FORM, BUT ALSO THE WEAVER THEMSELVES. HERE, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THE OBJECT WE TOUCH ALSO TOUCH US BACK."
