Want to design and create your own 9-foot piece of textile? The DIS Textile Design in Scandinavia summer program will train you in the full design process of textile prints, from initial conceptual sketches to printing a final full-size textile. Lectures, field studies and a nine-day study tour to Sweden and Finland will introduce you to the history, theories, works and current expressions of Scandinavian design. If you are interested in the program, or any of DIS' other summer design programs, be sure to inquire soon as space is limited.
