It&#8217;s a broad survey of the history, economics and sociological background,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe other third of the class is a series of hands-on workshops where students actually learn to turn basic raw materials into textiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before class, Buggey could often be seen around campus pulling a large cart full of materials like yarn, fleece and silk for her students to use in their projects. She had her students learn a variety of techniques, including weaving, needle felting, wet felting and embroidery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22777\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"530\" data-attachment-id=\"22777\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2018\/07\/students-learn-to-create-appreciate-family-history-in-textiles-class\/screen-shot-2018-07-23-at-3-41-36-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"789,530\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2018-07-23 at 3.41.36 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Students work on projects during Ann Buggey&amp;#8217;s Women and Textiles class.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM.png\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22777\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM.png 789w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-580x390.png 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-610x410.png 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-250x168.png 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.36-PM-595x400.png 595w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students work on projects during Ann Buggey&#8217;s Women and Textiles class.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe students just love the hands-on part of the class. They love learning how to do things. They tell me they find it really relaxing and a nice change from a traditional teaching method,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Taught to knit by her grandmother, Buggey is passionate about helping students connect what they\u2019re learning in class to their own family histories.<\/p>\n<p>For a class project, one student researched arpilleras\u2014small quilted appliqued wall hangings\u2014after noticing them on the walls in a relative\u2019s house. She discovered that those works were \u201ca way for the women in her family to express themselves when they lived in Chile during a time of dictatorship,\u201d Buggey explains. \u201cShe said it opened up a whole different perspective for what her family had gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother student\u2019s family is from Puerto Rico. She did research on a particular kind of lace that&#8217;s produced there. She remembered her grandmother making it. She was surprised to find out how much work was involved. So, while the intention of the course is to teach scholarly material, I also want to help them connect with their own family\u2019s traditions and gain a new appreciation for their older relatives,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>It was also important for Buggey to add community service to her class. This past semester, she had her students embroider gowns to donate to the neonatal unit at Children\u2019s Hospital at Erlanger. The gowns are primarily used as funeral garments for stillborn children.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"774\" data-attachment-id=\"22778\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2018\/07\/students-learn-to-create-appreciate-family-history-in-textiles-class\/screen-shot-2018-07-23-at-3-41-50-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"781,774\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2018-07-23 at 3.41.50 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Students work on projects during Ann Buggey&amp;#8217;s Women and Textiles class at the library.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM.png\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22778\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM.png 781w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-768x761.png 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-580x575.png 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-610x605.png 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-202x200.png 202w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-23-at-3.41.50-PM-404x400.png 404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students work on projects during Ann Buggey&#8217;s Women and Textiles class at the library.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis type of project connects them to Chattanooga itself.
