BA Textile Design – ReWeave and Re:roll Station Lab 2.0 Project
For this project students will be exploring their own approaches to sustainability as responsible designers. Students will be introduced to different approaches to sustainable practise as well as increasing their brand awareness and experience of designing for a client.
Students will be exploring methods of making experimental yarns from waste which they may weave with and creating woven textile swatches for fashion clothing and/or accessories.
Students will be using commercial waste materials as your own and dead-stock yarns
which are available in the Weave workshop.
First Research Tutorial of Project
- Students are in a group tutorial (6 students) around a large table in BA Textile Design shared space
- I explain that the Group tutorial is conversational allowing all to discuss and offer feedback on research, references and further ideas
- I ask students if they understand the brief, timetables and any questions regarding the project
- Each student has 10minutes to discuss the research they have explored so far around the title ‘Journeys’
- As students talk about their project I ask them to think about certain words which derives from their research which I then ask students to expand upon – is there any further information from brainstorming that can provide ideas going forward in research, material exploration and making
- During tutorials I allow students to share new ideas/discussion that may have arisen hearing from other students during the tutorial
- End of tutorial – Reflection of areas that we have discussed, diversity of ideas that we have seen and encouragement going forward in the project
- I suggest students have Peer Led Tutorials together to further discuss their project without a tutor
- Ending the tutorial we discuss the submission requirements and I ask if there are any questions regarding the brief or project in general
