Walt Whitman wrote, “I have instant conductors all over me whether I pass or stop / they seize every object and lead it harmlessly through me.” And so the things on these pages are intent on transmitting what one experiences in the minutiae of memory and routine: the sounds that surround a blackwater tidepool, what one imagines happens behind the closed doors of the friendly neighbors, or what’s heard in the whispers of an elderly man sitting in a waiting room.

  • African Lace
    Introduction Does changing an original material destroy its traditional context? If a material assumes new meaning or significance in a new context, is this inherently an appropriation of the object? What loss does this cause, and is it a positive change, a negative one, or neither? This lexicon revolves around African Lace. Through an analysis of this particular material, I broadly explain, craftsmanship, authenticity and reasons behind an object’s creation, including why and how it is made, from which materials, and how the object translates into a specific environment. Various kinds of objects are created in and relate to specific places and time periods. If situated in an environment in which it did not originate, the meaning of an object changes. In fact, the object is used from a new perspective. Although it is possible to reuse an object as a source of inspiration or research, it cannot be used as it was in its previous context. Thus, it is necessary to rethink the authenticity of an object when it is removed from its past context. History is important and can explain a materials origin, and it therefore warrants further attention. A lack of knowledge results in a loss of authenticity and originality of a historical material. In view of this, I develop this Lexicon to elaborate on the importance of this historical attention. It is interesting to consider how an object can influence a user in relation to emotional or even material value. The extent of this influence is uncertain, but it is a crucial aspect since any situation could diminish the value and the meaning of an object.

  • Taking Advantage of the Design Potential of Digital Printing Technology for Apparel
    Volume 4, Issue 3, Spring2005 TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DESIGN POTENTIAL OF DIGITAL PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR APPAREL J.R. Campbell, Associate Professor, Iowa State University 1073 Lebaron Hall Ames, IA 50011 515-294-0945 Jean Parsons, Assistant Professor, Iowa State University 1071a Lebaron Hall Ames, IA 50011 515-294-4022 ABSTRACT The integration of digital technologies into apparel forms allows designers to explore and visualize new creative possibilities. How the technology is used and how design concepts are perceived in the industry are areas of crucial importance to the technology’s longevity. Our goal, as collaborative artists, focuses on integrating technology into the creative process to create both art and industry-oriented apparel. The applications of digital textile and apparel design have implications for many areas of the industry, but we have focused on three: art-to -wear, custom design, and mass customizable products. The body of research and artwork that we have developed suggests that a systematic approach to integrating new technologies into the textile and apparel design process can be developed, recorded and employed in future design explorations to inspire the most rapid technology integration with the greatest potential for new product conceptualization. Keywords: Digital textile printing, apparel design, design process, art-to -wear The integration of digital technologies into creative process to create both art and industry- apparel forms allows designers to explore and oriented apparel. visualize new creative possibilities. How the technology is used and how design concepts are When we began our collaborative process, the perceived in the industry are areas of crucial use of digital printing for apparel was at a importance to the technology’s longevity.

  • Identifying Woven Textiles 1750-1950 Identification
    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.

  • Fabric Glossary Listed Below Are Basic Definitions of Some of the More Common Terms Used to Describe Fabric Within the Bedding Industry
    Expert Advice. Premium Products. Everyday Deep Discounts. 51260 Van Dyke Shelby Township, MI 48316 586-580-3605 Web Site: www.matt-to-go.com Email: [email protected] Fabric Glossary Listed below are basic definitions of some of the more common terms used to describe fabric within the bedding industry. Absorbency - The ability of a fabric to take in moisture. Absorbency is a very important property, which affects many other characteristics such as skin comfort, static build-up, shrinkage, stain removal, water repellency, and wrinkle recovery. Baffling - A “baffled” construction has fabric walls sewn between the top and bottom of the comforter cover, which both prevents the down from shifting and allows the down to fully loft. Batting - Cotton, wool, or synthetic fiber used for stuffing furniture and mattresses and for lining comforters. Blend - A term applied to a yarn of a fabric that is made up of more than one fiber. In blended yarns, two or more different types of staple fibers are twisted or spun together to form the yarn. An example of a typical blended yarn or fabric is polyester/cotton. Calendering - A process for finishing fabrics in which such special effects as high luster, glazing, embossing, and moiré are produced. Cellulose - A material derived from the cell walls of certain plants. Cellulose is used in the production of many vegetable fibers, as well as being the major raw material component used in the production of the manufactured fibers of acetate, rayon, and triacetate. CFM - Cubic feet per minute per square meter (CFM) is a measure of the air permeability of a fabric.
