INNATE: NEW WORKS BY MORGAN KUSTER, ANALISE MINJAREZ, BRITTANY HARRIS, & JULIE SHIPMAN APRIL 13th - MAY 3rd

OPENING RECEPTION, APRIL 13th, 6:00-8:00 pm

Oil and Cotton is pleased to announce the exhibition of the recent work of the University of North Texas Fibers Department. The opening reception will be hosted at Oil and Cotton on Saturday, April 13 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM. The event is free to the public, with food and beverages provided.


Innate features art work of four Fiber students from the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design. Through form and color, the work in this show draws inspiration from the artists’s connection to nature. Growing up in various natural environments, attraction to the fiber medium came as second nature. Living in an environment filled with the artificial, they aspire to return to a natural way of being through art making. These thoughts are expressed though processes including netting, weaving, watercolor, felt, and cellulose fabric.

Spring Break Camp : Cascarones!

Oil and Cotton spent Spring Break making beautiful natural dyed eggs with Natural Dye expert Sarah Westrup. Students learned about the Mexican American tradition of confetti filled cascarones. Empty egg shells were dipped in plant based dye solutions made from hibiscus flower, red cabbage, and red onion skins.

Students learned about value and color mixing with natural dyes in order to achieve our favorite colors. We then filled the eggs with confetti and draped them with tissue paper before the eggs were smashed in celebration for Easter.
