General Schedule for Classes
Each class meeting will follow a general structure, with assignment critiques and reflection generally on Mondays and new material introduced. The "Soft Intro" is a 15 minute period where we log into class and share what we are working on in the moment. We may include prompts for changing your background and starting conversations. The "History Of" will be a 15 minute presentation led by a student on the history of a textile material, technique, or application of their interest. The schedule for history of Presentations will be assigned in week two.
