ACTIVITY

In this class we will create a long spiral-shaped book using playful and unusual textile materials to transform fabric into a colorful and soft artifact that will allow us to write and illustrate narratives inspired by the cyclical quality of this book. Along with the creation of this book, students will learn about color properties,  lettering and embroidery techniques to enhance text legibility and composition in small format works.
