In the words of the famous Argentine historian, Ruth Corcuera, “textile art will be the means to tell us through colors and designs that the world can be read through symbols, as in a written text. In the great American cultures these symbols were a kind of lingua franca and textiles a major art with many roles, among them to express that where words did not suffice.“ Inspired by textiles, I will help you search your favorite weaving patterns to understand their designs, patterns and color schemes, focusing on predominant, complimentary and color accents. By analyzing the motifs & designs, as well as the character of line, texture and pattern, you will learn how to blend your calligraphy with the textile arts, using whichever hands you are comfortable writing or creating a new one inspired by your fabric. It’s my intention to share with you my own experimentations and findings and hope you will find new solutions to your calligraphic compositions from this new perspective.
