| 05/20/08- 08/22/08 1PM - 5PM Exhibit Inspired Design – Creative Entrepreneurial Textiles
What happens when the creative mind and the skilled hand are provided ongoing access to the computer aided, industrial weaving machine? Textile design is a specialized field that involves several sectors – fashion, interior decoration, the production of expressive works, sculptures, and hand-crafted items. It overlaps the fields of art, crafts and design. Textile designers must have intensive training that requires both artistic talent and a scientific frame of mind. A person creating textiles can be a designer, artisan, or artist.
This exhibit features designs and work that represent five 21st Century design growth areas of creative/innovative textiles using computerized Jacquard looms:
1. Smart Textiles (e-textiles) with electronic components woven into textiles
2. Performance and Interactive textiles designed as performative textiles for costume, stage, and dance or computer designs created by sound.
3. Textiles for Boutique Clothing – fabric designs for limited-edition boutique clothing
4. Interior Textiles for furniture, panels, wall-coverings
5. Textiles as Fine or Commissioned Art
The new Hendersonville Oriole Mill, partnered with the Hendersonville Jacquard Center (www.jacquardcenter.com), is the nucleus of a design/development/creative innovative cluster developed to enhance North Carolina competitiveness in the world textile industry. It is the only program in the United States that is designed to support creative entrepreneurial design and production, including limited runs for artist-designed textiles, through training on JacqCAD software, and access to the Oriole Mill’s 6 dobby looms and 9 industrial Jacquard looms, including two with 120” width.
