Woven and Constructed Fabrics
2
Course Description
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. mastery of pattern-making for weaving;
2. digital platform designing; and
3. develop advanced weaving skills.
Course Outline
The fabric and woven structures constitute core aspects of the course. Weaved patterns
through time, identification, and application of looms to tapestry, macramé, knitting, and rug
production will constitute studio assignments, some of which shall emanate from computer
application to pattern drafting to use software packages develop patterns arising from freehand
sketches. Also, students are expected to identify non-woven (man-made) fabrics, production
processes, and their application for personal, commercial, and industrial uses.
