Textured Textiles

Textiles are design objects made from malleable materials and are typically the result of interlocking fibers of yarns or threads, either by hand or with the use of a loom. By braiding, knotting, knitting, weaving, crocheting, bonding, tatting, and felting, textured textiles are created. 

Textured textiles can appear as the work of artists in the form of rugs, carpeting, pieces of wall art, geotextile and silk painting. The versatility of the textile medium is appreciated by contemporary artists and designers who view it as the medium at the forefront of their experimentation. The diversity of the patterns and textures artists can create allows them to run freely with their imagination. Textiles like other design objects provide an aesthetic as well as functional purpose. As pieces of textile sculpture or as design objects of everyday function, this medium has been a firm favorite of artists and design conceptors.
