Education Sensation
The SB40 project group of the Truman Create Symposium focused on educating and helping the community express themselves through art. For the first portion of the semester, we focused on running a kid’s corner for Red Barn, a local crafts festival for all of the Adair County community.
After Red Barn was over in early October, our class split into two groups: craft kits and SB40.
This is the Japanese art of resist dyeing, also known as Shibori dyeing. Through various techniques, an array of patterns can be achieved to decorate and embellish cloth. Think of shibori as a more traditional form of what we know as tie-dye
Indigo Workshop
Lil' Zine
Lil' Zine made small Zines, or self-published magazines, and spread them throughout campus. Topics ranged from Truman's names throughout the years to Taylor Swift.
If you would like to see the zines, they are on the Lil' Zine page. You will also be able to print them out yourself.
