NICK COMAN - ART TO WEAR FOR ALL OCCASIONS
What is "Art
to Wear" and is it appropriate for all occasions? Absolutely! This lecture centers around the current "Art to Wear"
scene, and through lecture, slide and actual garments, we will discuss the do's and don'ts of ATW in social situations,
and how things have changed over the years with the steady rise of "disposable clothing".
"The long and short of my career as an artist starts with my sisters Barbie dolls and my GI Joe.
I hated the clothes so I made new ones and I haven't stopped since. I have sewn my whole life, all types of needlework,
embroidery, knitting, garment, quilt and crochet. You name it I have tried it. After a few botched attempts to work in fields
that didn't involve a needle and thread, I got my degree in fashion design, and have worked in the field ever since. I
travel the country teaching surface design, and sewing techniques for other fiber addicts. I make art to feed my soul. I am
a big proponent of smearing the line between art and craft. I work in mediums that are traditionally "functional"
but do so in decidedly non-functional (if wall art is non functional) ways. I also have a degree in Fashion Design from FIDM,
among other things." - Nick Coman
