Cut & Miss: From Binary Draft to Woven Textile
This exhibition showcases the journey of Textile/Surface Design students, from foundational weaving techniques to cutting-edge digital applications. Cut & Miss features a diverse range of projects, highlighting the evolution of skills and creative expression across introductory and advanced levels. Traditional hand woven samples are displayed alongside fabric developed through digital weaving and manufactured at an American textile mill. Process sketches, drafts, and digital images display the marriage of design and technical skill required to create woven fabrics.
The exhibition includes a loom with scheduled weaving demonstrations by students and
faculty. Visit our Exhbitions Page for details
