Students At Wolf Creek Explore Textiles Through Grant
The start of the year had many students at Wolf Creek
excited with a new course offered called Visual Culture: Visiting Textile
Artist. The charter school was part of a
grant that funded the program which will run for two terms. Sarah Langworthy, an artist from the Textile
Center in Minneapolis, came to campus and taught students how to design fabric,
create patterns, and sew. The process
had students create a pattern online which was printed onto yards of
fabric. The students created their own
patterns and made an assortment of bags, purses, and packs out of their own
designs. A highlight for the students
was a field trip to the Textile Center in Minneapolis where they hand dyed
blocks of fabric and explored the world of fabric and designs. Second term students will focus on aspects
fashion design and create their own garments.
