At Colorado State University, we study fiber media within the fields of contemporary art and design. Our students develop skills in visual communication using a wide variety of textile processes. Coursework introduces world traditions and the role of textiles in material culture. We investigate the language of textiles as a global phenomenon and as an individual artistic practice. As our students encounter diverse processes and aesthetics, they become adept at creating and transforming fabrics and fiber structures. Undergraduate classwork provides a foundation in weaving, surface design, and related textile techniques. Students direct their talents toward the requirements of future careers in art, design, and education. Study abroad and internship opportunities are available. CSU alumni exhibit their work nationally and internationally; teach at public schools, colleges, and universities; and lead workshop programs throughout the US. Our alumni also jury and curate exhibitions, work as designers, and write for national publications.
