Design and create your own product line-custom stationery, furoshiki gift wrap, notebooks, patterned fabric- using screen printing, stamping and stencil techniques. Learn basic design principles and be inspired by artists like Sister Corita and textile houses like Marimekko.

Examine the vast possibilities of making a photographic image. In addition to imagery and composition, you will be introduced to basic printing processes and learn how to print from your own negative in a traditional black and white darkroom. You are encouraged to use your own 35mm film camera if possible, there will also be cameras for use in the class. Digital cameras are not appropriate. All film and printing materials included. Classes will be held in the darkroom and closed toed shoes are required in the lab. 

Product designers invent and design the things you buy: watches, bicycles, shoes and even toothbrushes. Learn how to come up with original ideas, create real products and then bring them to life. You'll learn industrial drawing techniques, concept development and visualization skills. 

Investigate personal and shared space, especially in relation to yourself and your friends. Use cardboard, glue and paint to construct one project that reflects your world from three different perspectives: the near (things we touch), the middle (the spaces that hold us) and the far (the settings we live in).
