Tapestry weaving has a language or mark making that is particular to the medium and is most evident in the tapestries of Andean pre-Columbian work. This workshop will begin the journey to identify this language and it’s relevance to contemporary work as a counter to the so often questioned reproductive qualities of the medium. Using hand on exercises the class will explore several techniques of these early cultures and how these techniques shape the development of images. Thru the use of slides and possible field visit to a museum we will examine textiles of the period and thru contemporary articles by recognized specialist in the field we will discuss and learn about their underlying concepts and layered meanings.
