Textile Design - Simple Sew Collaborative Garment
For this project you will collaborate with a partner (or two) to create a new wearable clothing item design. This is essentially a screen-printing project, but you may also choose to incorporate stamping or block printing for color accents. The group will work together to design an article of clothing, or you may choose to up-cycle and combine donated clothing. The item should have multiple patterns printed in an "all over" or "interconnected/tessellated" manor. Each group member will participate with the pattern design, screen stretching, exposure, and printing steps. One group member will be selected to model the item, while another describes the inspiration and techniques used. Limited sewing instruction will be provided so choose something simple and do-able within the time frame. Grades will be based on creativity, craftsmanship of printing (and sewing) and engagement/participation in all steps of this collaborative project. Each group member will provide a reflection on their own and their group member's participation and contribution. This should be a fun and interesting (like nothing we've seen before) project- Enjoy!
