BFA
The BFA Fibers Program offers coursework in weaving, surface design, knitting, felt-making, basketry, papermaking, dyeing, and fabric construction.
The Fibers program offers students an intensive grounding in traditional fiber techniques to support experimental work in art, artisanry, and design.
As a Fibers student at MassArt, you will experience a diverse array of courses that focus on the rich possibilities of understanding fibers in relation to other disciplines such as sculpture, performance, and installation. You will be encouraged to make personally meaningful connections between traditional approaches to fiber and contemporary developments in the field.
