Overview of the Project:
Fashion and costume designers have moved almost exclusively to working digitally to create their designs in digital rendering programs like Procreate. The companion technology to producing these designs three-dimensionally in patternmaking is utilizing a 3D patterning software like Clo3D. Recognizing that the creation process of garment making can be one of the highest impact points environmentally, I want to find ways to investigate and integrate digital sample creation alongside traditional patternmaking techniques throughout the Design & Production program in Theatre & Drama. Receiving intensive training in 3D patterning software at the United Stated Institute for Technology (USITT) Costume Symposium this summer will allow me to be prepared to directly implement this new maker technology into my coursework and with student makers.
