Crafting on Campus

Catalog description

What kind of crafting practices have groups embraced to make an impact? This seminar explores craft projects created to foster reflection, make connections, and challenge perspectives (with a focus on projects displayed on college campuses). We’ll view examples of these projects through online image databases, documentaries, and short readings. We’ll also visit and craft in the UCSB library Makerspace during a seminar session. You'll practice sewing, embroidery, and knitting stitches to make at least one crafted item and write a reflection about it. No previous craft experience needed and all materials provided.
