The course builds on the knowledge
and techniques taught in Curved Smocking I and II. I will review
the fundamentals of curved smocking and the structure of various
smocked curves. Then we will examine a number of published
geometric smocking designs for analysis of content-- borders,
central motif, shapes, all-over design, embellishments, use of
backsmocking, and use of unsmocked space. The student will then
design and graph an original design using curved smocking. |
