Designed Objects workshop at Haman Cross studio 4-24-19
Earlier in the semester, students worked with Carrie Wright and Chanina Katz from the School of the Art Institute's Designed Objects Class - instructor Eric Hotchkiss - to create designs for food forest signage
.
Carrie and Chanina took CCA student designs and refined them for full scale signage to place in the food forest. They used a laser cutter to create the final work.
Today students saw their pencil and paper designs come to life and worked in an artist studio to complete the build and paint designs they had created.Today was the build out day at the studio of local artist and SAIC instructor, Haman Cross.
Signage designed by CCA students now laser cut to scale and ready for processing.
Soon to be a sign for identifying plant life in the food forest
Chanina from SAIC works with CCA students to prime and paint the sign frames.
So much painting to accomplish in 1 day!
There were a lot signs for identifying food forest plants!
