This simple coat (three cuts, two seams, and hems) has been documented as early as the Bronze Age, and it can be put together in about an hour then decorated at your leisure. Wool, needles, and thread or floss will be provided so you can get started. Options for lining and adorning the coat will be discussed. There is a fee of $15 to cover the cost of the wool, needles, and thread that I will provide. Anyone who wants to sit in on the class without making a coat is welcome; I'll do my best to have enough extra handouts.
Classroom 2
1-2pm: The Creative Process: Mistress Domini:
A class that helps people move thru the steps of the creative process: from idea (hmmm, I'd like to do something, but I don't exactly know what) to project conceptualization (I'd like to make a dress or compose a sonnet, but I don't know where to start or how to do it) to research (where can I find sources or guidance to determine the materials and techniques I will need for this project) to design (how will I use the materials and techniques to implement my design).
2-3pm: Research and Documentation : Hayashi Tsukime
(Heidi Lyn, BA, BSE (engineering), MA, PhD. Research Fellow — Agnes Scott College; Researcher — Yerkes National Primate Research Center; Visiting Lecturer — Georgia State University)
