ART 222

Tapestry weaving has been practised by cultures around the world for over 2,000 years. In this course, students will first learn the basic techniques of tapestry weaving and later apply them to a small tapestry of their own design. Tapestry-woven cloth plays numerous cross-cultural roles: social, spiritual, political, economic, and artistic. These many facets of tapestry will be explored through a series of videos that highlight cultural traditions and international perspectives. Three credits.
