Day 08 of Class - 2 March 2009

Posted by: Emily Kruszynski:
so we started out class with a great presentation of the Queer Theory where we ate 'fruit' pops & 'fruit' loops & made fun animal balloons... ...
then we looked at our Textile prototypes ...and Dan showed us how to make Recycled Yarn & how to Crochet with it!
We looked at artists:
- Cayce Zavaglia
- Joana Vasconcelos (crochet drawing on sculpture)
- Michael McDowell
- Emily Barletta
- Felieke Van Der Leest (jewelry)
- Dan Steinhilber (MOA exhibit)
- Sheila Pepe (radical knitting/subversive lace)
- Carol Hummel (Tree Cozy)
- Knitta (Hollywood)
- Mleak - Cathy Kadan (clothing)

To make plastic items:

Take plastic bags, put a bunch together, put it between two pieces of wax paper so that no plastic is showing, than take a hot iron and press down on the plastic to make it harder than put it together as you want it.
