Production 2 is the second of two courses in which students explore object design + fabrication at varying scales. In this second course students design and fabricate designed objects using a variety of craft-based techniques focusing on real-life scenarios such as designing for clients, speculative exhibitions, and collaborative group work. Students will research precedents and cultural contexts, and engage critically in dialogue about current practices to take a values-driven approach to design, materials, and production. Engage as a creative entrepreneur and develop an understanding about object value and pricing, outsourcing, and relationship building for professional practice. Through off-campus studio visits and field trips, meet a range of creatives working in the field and learn about venues involved in the business of making, curating, and exhibiting handmade designed objects.
