Decorative Arts Class: more shoes!
Decorative Arts class had their final presentations today! I have only three images to share but they are pretty fantastic.
Also, i'd like to congratulate two of them on some awards/honors.
Undergraduate senior Lydia Hanchett received an acceptance of an abstract for presentation at the USITT national conference in Forth Worth, TX this spring. Lydia's work on invisible wefting of synthetic hair will be on display at the juried exhibition of the Costume Commission Poster Session. Congrats, Lydia!
And, third year graduate student Candy McClernan was awarded one of the university’s Impact Awards, a campus-wide honor for graduate-level research impacting the NC economy. Candy’s submission, which presented the work she conducted with digital textile designs used in Playmakers Repertory Company's production of Cabaret and its connection to the NC textile industry, won one of the $500 awards. Her submission illustrated how the visibility of her digital textile creations in online press and at regional and national conference presentations have driven costume production artists in the Southeast and nationwide to patronize digital fabric printing companies based in NC. Congratulations, Candy!
But shoes:
wool and leather spats by second year grad Corinne Hodges
Second year grad Colleen Dobson made these futuristic dragon shoes, inspired by a research image of 3D-printed footwear designs. She cut down a pair of ankle boots and used ShapeLock thermoplastic pellets to sculpt the shoes (shoe at left is in-process showing the natural color of the ShapeLock and the base shoe).
Undergraduate senior Lydia Hanchette made these stilt covers for a Treebeard/Ent costume.
Lydia used foam for the base shape, then mached over top with cheesecloth and tissue paper.
Better detail shot of the tree bark texture and moss.
I have the best students!
