Designing Traditions Biennial V: Student Explorations in the Asian Textile Collection

Designing Traditions highlights new work by RISD students studying Asian textiles and clothing in the Museum’s collections. Innovative handmade, woven, and knit textile designs by this newest generation of designers offer testimony to the creativity sparked by even the smallest details of traditional craftsmanship, and speak to a long tradition of the creative use of the RISD Museum’s collections.
