In this 2-week workshop, Creative Class students will create unique, personal, free verse tapestries inspired by Tracey Emin’s work; in particular, her appliqued blankets and tapestries.This class will explore textiles, typography, the personal in art, materiality, and more. Students can expect to feel empowered to be personal in their work and to see the power of textiles and materiality as catharsis. This workshop also offers a fun entry point for writers to experiment with fiber art! No experience is necessary; beginner artists and writers are welcome as well as experienced artists interested in exploring fiber arts and the personal in their art practice.
