CAPILANO UNIVERSITY TEXTILE ARTS

This unique array of work is linked by each artist’s interpretation of transformation as a theme.

Recently the second years students were assigned the task of creating a Narrative piece using solely screen printing techniques. Here are some examples of their fabulous work.

Final projects for the semester are complete and we can all relax for three glorious weeks!

Here are some pictures from our presentation day in Surface Design class. The requirements of this project were to combine the silkscreening techniques we learned this semester with surface embellishment techniques, such as shibori, embroidery, and applique.

A wide range of projects were presented, from cool wearables including a rockin’ bikini, stylin’ tank tops and innovative detachable sleeves to fabulous wall hangings, yardage, and pillows…and of course an exceptionally adorable owl named Percy.

The objective for these projects was to create either a 3 metre piece of yardage using one of the repeat mechanisms OR to develop a product line for the upcoming student sale!

STUDENT SALE:  Tuesday November  22nd between 11:30 and 6pm*, Arbutus Building Room AR201, Capilano University ~ North Vancouver Campus ~ 2055 Purcell Way

*There is also an information session for the Textile Arts Program between 1:30 and 2:30 in the same location. This is a great opportunity to meety faculty and to see student work (and students at work)!

Students generated a small series of layered or textural prints for their first screen printing project. The subject matter is based on the individual students’ concept of ‘culture‘.
