Nancy Taylor teaches a variety of courses in weaving and fabric arts, and she regularly exhibits her own art. She has also led off campus programs in East Africa several times and conducted research about textile dyes with students.
She remarks, “I am particularly interested in the cultural and historical roots of contemporary weaving and other fiber arts, and in the important roles textiles have played in almost all cultures and times.”
There is always something growing on my loom! I work in slit-weave tapestry, as well as multi-harness weave structures and many forms of dyeing. I am particularly interested in the cultural and historical roots of contemporary weaving and other fiber arts, and in the important roles textiles have played in almost all cultures and times. I have been teaching and learning with Earlham students since 1981. Along with teaching weaving and other textile arts, I am an active foreign study leader. I’ve traveled with students to East Africa eight times, and will be returning in 2015.
