Rug Tufting
Name: Borchert,
Advisor: Frey, Dorothy
Department: Art
Award: Student Research Grant
Abstract: The attached narrative goes into detail explaining my request for funding of a rug tufting kit to build on to my portfolio for my BFA senior exhibition. Rug tufting is the act of a large needle with yarn poking through fabric to create loops and form a rug. I am making this request as it would be quite beneficial to my art career and experience to learn a new form of art making.
