ELEMENTS OF BMC: Fiber Workshop with Maya Rosenbaum

ELEMENTS OF BMC is a new series that explores the fundamental parts of creative practice at Black Mountain College, highlighting a range of artistic mediums and techniques. The series investigates the role of these elements in shaping the college’s legacy and lasting influence on contemporary art.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore new creative forms while learning about key artworks from the BMCM+AC Permanent Collection, demonstrating connections across time. For the first iteration of our ELEMENTS series, join us for a weaving and fiber arts workshop with Maya Rosenbaum, BMCM+AC Communications Coordinator.
Weaving was one of the most popular subjects taught at Black Mountain College and held an important place at the heart of the College’s legendary art and design curriculum. The weaving program was started in 1934 by Anni Albers and lasted until the College closed in 1956. Weaving practices and ideas spread beyond the weaving program into other areas of the College, engendering a broader “weaving literacy” amongst the community. The recent exhibition Weaving at Black Mountain College explored the profound influence of textile practices on BMC pedagogy.
The workshop is open to learners of all ages and experience levels. Participants will learn to weave on a small tapestry hand loom and will explore different fibers through touch. We will provide all of the necessary materials including hand looms, yarn, and tapestry needles. More experienced fiber enthusiasts are encouraged to bring their own materials, too. As part of the workshop, participants can explore a pop-up exhibition of selected textile objects from the BMCM+AC Permanent Collection which tell the story of weaving at BMC. This workshop will take place in the BMCM+AC library and is free and open to the public, no registration required.
