CRAFT INVESTIGATION: TEXTILE
Craft definition
When we were first given the question what is craft I had thought of it being something human made, made with human creativity skill and thought.
When I put this collage together, I kept in mind things that were made by someone and not by a machine whether it was food art or jewelry.
ARCHITECTS
With the definition of craft now defined, we needed to study architects and how they used craft in there works.

While I was studying the architects Shim-Sutcliffe, and their works. Their projects are strictly in Canada. While I looked at their works I noticed that they in cooperate the environment and embed it with the building instead of just flatting out the entire space. Their projects also all are near water or include water in them. Also, with what i noticed is angles and that depending where you stand is what you see, and every angle is different.

STEP ONE: STUDYING A CRAFT
Craft: Textiles
Visual of Textiles
While looking at textiles I realized that it was a very broad and wide category and I had to narrow it down, so I decided to focus on more fashion and wearable forms of it like shows dresses and clothes. In my collage it shows thing needed to make said craft and example of what textile is and what I was focusing on.
STEP TWO: CREATING A STUDIO
The building and floor planWhen designing the building I wanted it to be flowy and natural like clothes or fabric would be. I end up making it represent a piece of cloth. The view would be a dull building and then a stripe of stained-glass to represent how clothes brighten our moder and past society. I also wanted furniture on the inside to show the movement of fabric which that could be wavy or straight and stiff.

STEP THREE: BIG DRAWING
Explanation
This assignment was to create a large drawing of what would represent your craft and building. When i was making it i wanted to add a splash of color while the rest was in grey or black to show how clothes brought color to our world. I drew and colored stained glass because it was also apart of my building design. I added an old chandelier and an old sewing machine to represent that clothes and textile has been apart of human culture for a long time. And i added the oldest dress to ever be found and another equally as old one.
LAST: MODEL
the instructions to make this model were similar to the drawing, to represent your craft and what it takes to do it. in my model I used things that are made from textile and tools to make it like pins a sewing machine a Maquiné scissors etc. I also added tings from my building like the stain glass. also, I inserted items made from the craft a dress lace ribbon fabric and shoes.
