Weave Studios
Students realize their ideas in our Weave labs as shown here
to the right.
a. Our original 1884 dobby head looms have been computerized
to maximize students' exploration of fine yarns and complex weaves.
b. After developing his idea on the computer, this student proceeds
to the electronic Jacquard weaving machine to check the actual
fabric.
c. Students work closely with professors. Here he receives critical
feedback during a review of his collection.
d. The handweaving studio affords students a variety of weaving
experiences.
