Additional Course Details:
From Homespun to Fast Fashion: A Global History of Textiles
Focusing initially on four fibers- silk, wool, linene, and cotton- this course examines how people have clothed themselves across time and place. We will explore creation and consumption of textiles through the histories of natural and synthetic fibers and dyes; processes such as weaving, knitting, block and screen printing; mass marketing and merchandising, and the importance of sustainability and eco-conscious production models.
