 What is studio for me?

-       Studio for me is my own space where I feel the most confidante and productive when creating my work. My studio space needs to be outside my house where I can have  the space to lay out all my work and see that this is my working space and that I know that when I leave this space its my free time and can switch off and relax.

In my studio space I need to have space to spread my work to be able to see what I have done and what I can change or improve. As a student fashion design I need the equipment and the space for all the materials to create garments. During covid my studio was my small bedroom and small table which could not fit my whole pattern pieces, however it taught me to manage my space and showed me that I can work in any environment if needed. Just need to adjust and adapt my practice to the space/ studio I have and create the best space for me to create work that I will be proud off at the end.

During Covid and lockdowns everyone needed to change their working space and adapt to the work studio they needed to create within their homes. People needed to change their way of working as during that time it was very limited, also restrictions in the equipment, materials as our studio was our bedrooms, dinning rooms, living room floors, mostly working on a small tables and laptop.


Studio space can effect the scale that you are working on à the materials use is limited without the studio.

 

Studio --> Site  - Dale Holmes

Not all artists are working in a closed space, between four closed walls. Artists work from taking inspirations from sites, the outdoors. Like to work in the fresh open air, not limitation in space. Artists have the studios on site, any where they go is their own studio. For example photographers taking photographs outdoors are setting up their own studios outside to create their work their own studio to create their style of work. Others such as, Dale Holme has been working on site of a tennis court and taking inspiration of the sites to create his painting. Making observations on the surroundings, talking to people on the site and taking inspiration from the players and the courts. The site has became Dales studio, making observational drawings on the grass, making a small exhibition of the paintings on site on open day, making a collaboration with the site he has been working on. And taking the inspiration and creating large scale paintings in his studio.

Looking at different artists and workers in art and design it shows that all people work differently and have their own space to create their work.

Creative Studio What is ZERO WASTE FASHION? Over the years zero waste living became a quickly growing trend as the awareness of the waste produced and our global waste and plastic pollution as increased and more people are aware of the effect it has on our environment.   What is zero waste fashion?   Currently waste management system is mostly concentration on reduce, reuse, and recycle rather than eliminating waste altogether.  Zero waste fashion compared to other zero waste products is that zero waste aspects start with the design and the production stage and other products are on the use stage where the items are being reused or repurposed to a different object.   ‘’Zero waste fashion is about using existing materials to their full capacity and not producing textile or other material waste.’’  (Elizabeth,2020. 2nd Ed) Fashion is always reusable, unless is a poorly made fast fashion item that is warn once and tossed out. Zero waste fashion is m...

  Creative Studio  Workshop – Arduino What is Arduino? - ‘’Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.  Arduino boards  can read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board’’. (Arduino,2021) Wearable Electronics? Over the years electronics have become more of a fashion piece rather than practical technology, such as smart watches. But what if we combine fashion and electronics? After the session on Arduino and creating a small electric circuit to make a LED light flash and create a simple code using the Arduino software, made me think how that could be developed and combined with fashion. A lot of fashion designer use electronics for aesthetic, lighting, but what if...

 Creative Studio Optitex What is OPTITEX?  - ‘’Optitex is a computer fashion design software for designing with 2D and 3D visuals, but also allows you to create pattern pieces or layout plans to check the efficiency of the material used.’’ Optitex allows apparel designers to create, alter, and manipulate the garment pattern pieces. But also conduct visual garment fit which is great to see how the garment would look like before the production. It allows you to digitise your pattern pieces or create new pieces in the software. This CAD software allows you to see the garment 3D on an avatar, to see the movement, the fit of the garment. It’s a very interesting way to see the garment before the production and sampling. Also, it would be interesting way to present your ideas to a group and showcase your designs.  Optitex also allows you to create lay out plans. Select the size of your fabric, digitise your pattern pieces using the Digi pen and paper and lay out all your piece...
