Evolution/Revolution Art/Craft/Design Exhibition at RISD


Evolution/Revolution: The Arts and Crafts in Contemporary Fashion and Textiles is reviewed in the current issue of American Craft magazine in an article titled, "The Hand Meets High Tech". Interesting article, check it out. Here is a better image of one of the pieces in the exhibition.

Alyce Santoro






I first learned of Alyce Santoro when showing my Design Like You Give a Damn Class the wonderful series Big Idea for a Small Planet. Alyce is an amazing creative person. She has become known for her sonic fabric which eventually got picked up by Designtex who premeried it at the ICFF show in NYC. Some of us are planning to attend this year's ICFF show in May- come! Alyce's blog for sonic fabric has all kinds of fantastic leads.....
Check it out. Be inspired.
