   Fibers at the University of North Texas's Blurbs
About me:
The mission of the fibers area is to promote excellence through comprehensive educational programming providing a strong fundamental base that includes cross cultural, historical, and contemporary issues in fiber arts. The fibers area fosters critical thinking by offering a diverse curriculum that includes surface design, weaving, and alternative processes courses that provide students the opportunity to work in two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and installation formats. Fibers is the one area where majors are not restricted to one material, process, or technique. The endless possibilities have resulted in innovative and intriguing, conceptually based artwork. See 'My Pics" to view student artwork.



Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone interested in the field of fiber arts.

A lady who does really cool beadwork stopped by our tent in Kerrville. She says she also does a lot of hand-embroidery. She told me about the Embroidery Guild of America and mentioned that they needed new, younger members who are working in contemporary art to join. Their website is: http://www. egausa. org/ if anyone is interested.

The Fabric Workshop & Museum in Philadelphia has an intership program that I am interested in and Peter's Valley has a winter reisdency program. I'm also trying to find some stuff that is more local to SA. Artpace has a residency as well as SWSAC and Blue Star has some interesting looking programs. I'm not sure how realistic my chances are of getting into any of the local programs but I figure it's worth a try.

I missed it this go round (which I am kicking myself for; didn't finish enough pieces) but I will be applying for more assistantships and residencies. I'm also going to be taking some classes at the Southwest School of Arts and Craft here in SA to help with my portfolio. =D They have a pretty cool campus, you should check it out.
