Problem - Create a long sleeveless vest using textile techniques that says something about who you are as a woman in the year 2000.
Process & Development - What is a mantle? Man’tle : a kind of cloak or loose sleeveless garment to be worn over other garments.
In the workshops, we explored the creative process, kept journals and sketchbooks, learned new techniques, bonded with each other and prepared to individually express through the creation of a mantle, who we are as women in the year 2000.
Brainstorm the concept or inspiration for your mantle, construct or select and fit a pattern for your long sleeveless vest, choose textile techniques and the materials you will use in construction of your garment and experiment with them. From your experiments, select a direction and construct your garment.
