What kind of crafting practices have groups embraced to make an impact? This seminar explores craft projects created to foster reflection, make connections, and challenge perspectives (with a focus on projects displayed on college campuses). We’ll view examples of these projects through online image databases, documentaries, and short readings. We’ll also visit and craft in the UCSB library Makerspace during a seminar session. You'll practice sewing, embroidery, and knitting stitches to make at least one crafted item and write a reflection about it. No previous craft experience needed and all materials provided.

WRIT2 . Webber M A 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Dr. Webber is the kindest and most caring professor. She is so understanding with late work and her deadlines are pretty flexible. She made Writ 2 incredibly enjoyable- I cannot praise her teaching style enough.

WRIT1 . Webber M A 2 Years Ago

Dr. Webber was so delightful to have as a professor. Her lectures are filled with applicable stories and anecdotes that made the class really enjoyable and she was very receptive to the class. From the first time we met she always remembered my name and research topic and every conversation we had left a smile on my face.

Great professor! Very lenient and supports us in improving our writing. Gave us a lot of freedom to write and pursue our interests.

WRIT107WC . Webber M A 2 Years Ago

Martha is such a cute professor. She is charming and caring, and the workload for most of the time in the quarter is chill. There are group projects, but she spends fair effort to find you the best groupmates. Try to appoint for her office hour before your classmates do it.
