Artists Using Crochet

Try to think of crochet outside of any preconceived ideas you might have about it. Crocheting is a just another way of constructing fiber and fiber-like materials into a structure that can be manipulated to serve your art production.

Here are some examples of contemporary artists using fiber in their work....

The whole body reacts to color. If you were to walk into an all-neon-pink room, it would be difficult not to react. I think it is a unified, human thing to feel color with everything. It is like standing next to a bass speaker plugged into your eyeballs. #jimdrain 💡 #photography #nightphotography #neonlights #fujifilm #fujifilmph #fujifilmxseries #fujifilmlifestyle #fujifilmlifestyleph (at Alabang Town Center)

Welcome to Fiber Sculpture!

This blog explores textiles to supplement the content I cover in the fiber class I teach each semester at CSULB. This Fall we will explore a variety of off-loom textile structures within a contemporary sculpture context. We will examine and research these techniques from a contemporary art perspective, in hopes of finding ways that these ideas, materials, processes, and techniques can serve to enhance your own developing art practice.

Check this blog regularly for links to important course information, tutorials and supplemental material to enhance our lectures, homework assignments and other class updates, and more as we explore the world of fiber sculpture.
