Carol Adams

Explore the magic of the interlocking of fibers. The history and many interpretations of the ways fiber can be used to create art are endless and fascinating. Fiber can be used for anything from clothing to a fence to a giant ship rope to a basket to the finest lace. Together, students create a group of fiber sculptures, working in teams or individually. Carol teaches a variety of woven and off-loom techniques to mix with other media if desired. Students learn about contemporary fiber sculpture as well as a brief history of how fiber is used in a diverse societies and situations. They see a three-dimensional resolution of a repetitive design as well as gain dexterity with manipulation and construction.
