Back to the blog

After a few years off I am going to get back to posting on this blog.
The school year is about 5 weeks old and very busy already. The Fiber Department started the year off with a lecture by Surabhi Ghosh, Cranbrook Fiber alum and the Head of the fiber Department at the University of Oregon. She generously spoke about her recent work, time in a residency at Ox-Bow, and her teaching. Following her lecture we settled into studio work, seminar discussions based on readings from The Textile Reader, and critiques. There is a lot of energy in the studios and discussions and critiques have been very active and interesting. The department also went on a tour of the Collections Wing of the Cranbrook Art Museum and Saarinen House.
In future posts I will try to hit the highlights of the missing past couple of years as well as share more about our department activities.
