Spent the past few days working on generating some templates for an upcoming book structures workshop that will include basic stitches as part of the hands on session. Bearing in mind that this workshop is customised for first year students where most of them will not have experience in sewing (I know, I know... ), and thus to speed up, the solution is printed material to relief them of the mathematics and plotting. Some may argue that perhaps I am doing the homework for them . But hey, considering it's a one-off workshop (we only have 2 hours), plus I'm also curious to see the results of this initiative, I find that all the work will pay off.
Alright, I've got about 13 pages to format before sending it to the printer's. Good Luck to me and ... stay tuned! Writing another workshop for book structures x basic stitches. This means a new prototype has to be made. Rant : Sometimes I wish I wasn't only paid to conduct for the hours of the workshop, but in addition, for writing the programme as well as making the prototype. It really takes time to think , plan, create and then execute!
Anyway, I think the products from the workshop will be very fun and engaging. I'm looking forward to see how the participants produce the two sets of books in the session. Made a frame to support next Sunday's Tikar Weaving workshop. Wood split because I didn't have a drill to make holes before putting nails.
Have to borrow a drill soon to make more of these. |
