Digital Painting and Printing for Fabric Session at USITT 2012

Here are my notes from the Digital Painting and Printing for Fabric session from USITT 2012.

A Day Late and A Dollar Short...But we still Made Money!

That title is one of my favorite sayings, even when it isn't true of my current state of being. (Right now, it's ooh so true.) But anyway... I digress.

I am indeed a day late posting this blog, and once again, I intended to write a smug blog about being in the country for real... but instead I came down with a cold and a much better blog topic.

Graduate Statements of Purpose

First up, why do i write these posts? I mean, i'm not getting paid to write this blog. It's not something i'm required to do by the program for which i teach, or by the theatre for whom i work.

Portfolio Advice for Costume Professionals

My current job includes teaching grad school coursework in costume technology, and i see a lot of portfolios from folks applying to our program. This is one of my favorite things about applicants' visits--the opportunity to see their portfolios. I'm writing this post from purely my own perspective, what *I* think about how a portfolio should be set up and arranged. I don't make acceptance decisions here, but i do offer feedback… Continue

Preparing to apply to a Costume Production/Technology MFA program

I've written a series of posts in my "actual" blog, La Bricoleuse, about graduate study in costume career fields. It occurred to me that i might reach a larger audience of interested readers by cross-posting them here as well. So, over the next few days/weeks, i'll be putting those posts up in this blog as well.



This first one (originally posted in November of 2006) was written in response to a query from Aurora, an… Continue
