Sculptural Fibers - Visiting Assistant Professor Gabrielle Duggan led a workshop at @penlandschool earlier this month titled “Sculptural Fibers”. The class welcomed unconventional media for off-loom processes and considered implications of labor, gender, race, and class. #untfibers (at Penland School of Crafts)

We were lucky to have Barbara Hartman visit today with some of her beautiful quilting pieces. Amazing detail and texture! #untfibers #surfacedesign #quilting #untcvad (at UNT College of Visual Arts + Design)

Our Surface Design students had the unique opportunity to tour the Moda Fabrics and United Notions facilities! We learned about the process from fiber to printed fabric, and saw some beautiful historical patterns and quilts. Thanks @modafabrics !! (at Moda Fabrics United Notions)

We had a rainy work day this morning in the UNT Natural Dye Garden, prepping our beds for planting! Many thanks to UNT Facilities, the @dentoncountymastergardenerstx, and our wonderful students! #untfibers #untfacilities #untcvad (at University of North Texas)
