ART 0110 - Fiber Arts & Wellbeing

Credits: 1.5

What are fiber arts, and how can they help one’s wellbeing and sense of self? Throughout the semester, students will have the opportunity to engage in five core fiber arts – hand sewing, embroidery, knitting, weaving, and quilting – in an effort to understand their potential as artistic practices and as tools for strengthening one’s mental health. This course will be hands-on, and will cover the history of these art forms as well as the implementation of proper ergonomics and stretching, to avoid injury and/or bodily stress.
