Here are some photos from yesterday's Snap Shop: modular accessory workshop. It was really fun. Everyone was very focused and made strange and interesting things. A big thank you to Holly Ward for arranging this to happen inside her Geodesic Dome!

MakeShift is an art and research project that examines the relationships between 'making', 'clothing' and 'living'. The basic premise for the project is that for a period of one year starting on September 1st, 2009, I will only wear things that I have made myself. Initially this may seem like a reasonable task, but it will include all of my clothes, socks, shoes, underwear, coats, jackets, hats, bathing suits, accessories and anything else I might need to protect my body from the elements while trying to lead a fulfilling life.
Beyond being a nail-hammering, speed-sewing, room-pacing, hair-raising, life-enriching personal challenge, I hope to gain some understanding of the limitations of clothing and how they affect the development of ideology. Ultimately, I would like to examine the role of clothing as a form of cultural production.
I hope you will participate by leaving comments on this blog or stopping by the space for a visit. Makeshift is meant to be an exploration of ideas so the conversation that develops will become an important part of how the project unfolds.
this workshop looks like so much fun! can you do more workshops?
