I have a degree in textiles! More on the practical side though, not history. And it’s an associate degree, not a doctorate. But I can thread your loom! Or, we’ll, maybe I can. It’s been quite a while not sure I remember.
Is there a lot of history in that degree? Seems like the kind of field that should be a trade with hands on learning more than a degree, unless it’s all about the history of textiles.
It was an art school. My degree (maybe it’s actually a certificate? It was a 4 year program but the school was old and didn’t jive with modern requirements) is Material Arts and Design- Textiles. It was mainly practical, with a focus on design, with a bunch of academic electives. The history I took was mostly South American and Indigenous history.
Now I have a cut/sew shop where I make marine canvas and upholstery.
