About the course

As an MFA candidate in Textiles, you build on solid technical skills and a proficient design process, engage in individual research, and develop a personal vision and understanding of design as an expression of a continually evolving culture. The two-year MFA in Textiles focuses on the woven, knit and print design of fabrics used for apparel and interior design applications. Geared towards those with a background in textiles and academic and/or professional experience in visual studies, the curriculum helps you broaden and sharpen your skills, hone your artistic identity and become well versed in the technical and creative potential of the medium. The program also emphasizes studies in drawing and color - along with participation in graduate seminars - as a means of building analytical and critical thinking skills. The first year enriches your creative background and helps you expand your skills, including the use of digital technology in design. The second year allows for more individual exploration of weaving, knitting or surface design, with the final semester culminating in a thesis project that entails both studio work and writing.
