2015 Design Build Intensive: MFA in Applied Craft + Design
The MFA in Applied Craft + Design degree program (AC+D) in Portland, OR (a joint program of Oregon College of Art and Craft and Pacific Northwest College of Art) begins each year with a 10 day pre-semester, collaborative Design Build Intensive project intended to help students get to know each other and learn how to work together by designing and building a project for an actual client who will benefit from the students' skills.
This year's collaborator is Outgrowing Hunger whose mission is "to get healthy food into the mouths of Hungry People". The organization "transforms unused private, public and institutional land into Neighborhood Gardens, where healthy food, resilient community, and economic opportunity spring up together". For this Design Build Intensive the AC+D students will focus on the East Portland Neighborhood Garden (EPNG), which provides personal gardening and fresh produce work-trade opportunities.
The East Portland Neighborhood Garden has plots that range from 360 – 1550 square feet, tended primarily by 115 Bhutanese, Burmese refugee and Latino immigrant families who literally live off of the garden's harvest. Many must commute up to two miles on foot to get to the garden, after which they often work 6 – 8 hours a day tending, harvesting and preparing traditional fermented vegetables. The entire site is almost 100% garden space with little area for rest and relief, not to mention protection from the rain and sun.
There is so much AC+D can do for EPNG!
The magic of the AC+D Design Build Intensive is the conversation and connection that happens between two communities who normally would not have come together. EPNG and ACD will meet to collaboratively discover the true needs of the community. It is clear already that there is much that can be improved. The design process will not begin until the students meet with the gardeners, but to give a sense of the potential scope the project could include: benches with shaded cover for tired gardeners and nursing mothers; raised beds with ADA accessibility for the Senior Gardens; a protective shed to secure the five wheelbarrows; a privacy shield for the portable restroom; a removable cover for the outdoor kitchen used to prepare the harvests for community and fundraising events, and the list goes on…
AC+D DESIGN BUILD: MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH MAKING
Designers in education and industry fields routinely and assuredly assert that design thinking strategies can deliver the “game-changing” ideas needed to address the critical and complex problems of our times. Frequently, however, it seems we’re seduced by and fall in love with the promise(s) of these ideas, and are less committed to following through with their actual realization with the same degree of passion. The AC+D Design Build Intensive is an effort to provide a ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ model of design education and practice of the first year MFA AC+D students working together designing and building a project for an actual client.
Emphasizing a philosophy of civic engagement, The AC+D Design Build Intensives are selected based on their potential to benefit an organization or population that generally does not have access to the services of designers, builders and makers. These projects put design thinking into action and solve local community problems.

Detail of one of three windows in the north aisle by Powells, 1917 (these fine windows are particularly badly afflicted by the darkening wash applied to them yeasrs later and would be hugely enhanced if it could be removed).
St Mary's is the parish church of the town of Kidderminster and a grand affair it is too, still mostly an early 16th century building of impressive proportions, its extraordinary length in particular. The tower is a major landmark on the northern edge of the town centre, though sadly the construction of the modern ring-road effectively cuts the church off completely from the rest of the town and it can only be reached via a rather uninviting subway beneath the dual-carriageway, thus it doesn't get the footfall it deserves.
The church is usually approached from the south and it is this aspect that makes the biggest impression, most noticeably for its handsome south-west tower and the richly glazed clerestories of the nave (which appears to be composed more of glass than wall), all fine examples of the late medieval Perpendicular style. The length of the building is remarkable as beyond the nave is not only a decent sized chancel but a further chapel to the east as well (an early 16th century chantry chapel, formerly detached but now more integrated and in use as a parish room). There has however been much restoration owing to the fragility of the grey and red sandstones used in the construction, and thus much of the external stonework was renewed in the Victorian period (when the south chapel and vestries connecting to the chantry chapel were added). On the north side of the chancel is a handsome memorial chapel added in the early decades of the 20th century.
Entry is via the porch in the base of the tower at the south-west corner, where the visitor is greeted by a vast interior space whose lighting is somewhat subdued (especially the chancel). the nave is a classic example of the Perpendicular style and of considerable width, culminating above in the bright clerestories and a flat wooden ceiling. There is much of interest to discover here, particularly the monuments which date from the 15th-17th centuries and include several fine tombs, the earliest being a graceful canopied tomb to a noblewoman in the south aisle and a large brass on the north side. The chancel has three more large tombs with recumbent effiges to members of the Cokesey and Blount families, the latter being of post-Reformation date.
Every window of the church is filled with stained glass, mostly of the Victorian period but much of it rather good. The most handsome window is the early 20th century window by Powell's over the main entrance and there is more glass by the same studio in the nave aisles whilst the nave clerestorey has an attractive sequence of angels holding symbols of the Benedicite by Hardmans' installed at the very end of the 19th century. My first encounter with this church was in the late 1990s when working as part of the team that releaded the entire scheme of windows in the nave clerestorey, thus I got to know these angels very well. Sadly however the glass throughout this church suffers from a disfiguring layer of varnish or shellac (applied as 'blackout' at the beginning of World War II and a substance known as 'speltek' according to someone I spoke to at the church). This was smeared over most windows with a rag (the impressions of which were apparent when we worked on the clerestorey windows) and is not easily removed, but small areas where it has detached show how much brightness has been lost while the windows suffocate under this darkening layer. I hope some day the right solvent can be found to remove this stuff with minimal risk to the glass.
Kidderminster's grand parish church rewards a visit and deserves more visitors than it currently receives. It isn't always open but in recent years prior to the pandemic was generally open for a few hours on most days during the summer months (though best to check times before planning a trip). Don't be put off by the seemingly impenetrable barrier of the ringroad, St Mary's is worth seeking out and the nice people who steward their church would I'm sure like to be able to welcome more people to this fine building.

Collection of Textile Art
The collection of textile is one of the most extensive collections at Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design (ETDM): there are nearly 800 articles representing the work of more than 80 artists. This collection has suffered from most notable losses in the course of time. In 1944, the fire at the temporary building of Estonian Art Museum in Narva road destroyed the entire textile collection; for this reason the examples of pre-war textile art are very few in number. The textile art of the time, having surpassed the era of copying folk art, actively adhered to the contemporary design language. The problem of poor representation of this period has been somewhat alleviated by creating new works on the basis of old original drafts. The collection provides a more substantial overview of the development of professional Estonian textile art since the late 1940s until today.
The collection encompassing tapestry and rugs, fabrics and three-dimensional works carried out in different materials and techniques is complemented by an extensive and continuously growing slide collection and written sources regarding the works and exhibitions of various artists.
I'm still trying to figure out the waist binding! On the left is how I think the binding is supposed to be applied, with the raw edges of binding and skirt matched up on the wrong side of skirt and with the folded edge of binding sewn down on the front of skirt. In the middle is what I did to sew the binding on. FYI - my binding is 3/4" wide when folded. I used a 1/4' seam allowance and turned the whole binding over to the front. That means the seam where I first sewed the binding to the skirt is on top! Will that work okay? And which way is the binding really supposed to be applied? The rightmost photo shows how the binding looks from the front. No binding is visible on the back - just the seam line from the front stitching. Thanks so much for helping me out!!

About Jack Sanders Butch Anthony
Sanders is founder of Design Build Adventure, a full-service design, build, and adventure company, His work explores the intersection of design and place, drawing from the interrelationships between people, material, climate, music, food, and art specific to each project’s region. Sanders has been involved in several large scale art installations, and has been a visiting lecturer and studio instructor at Auburn University’s Rural Studio, Mississippi State University, and the University of Texas at Austin.
Anthony is a multimedia artist living and working in Seale, Alabama who collects societal cast-offs and trash and uses them as materials for his art. He uses the term “intertwangled” for his type of art as he mixes so many objects, drawn forms, and subject matter together. Anthony’s work defies categorization and creates a humorous commentary on modern life. Themes of death, work and relationships form the core of his approach to crafting his bizarre creations.

Woops! got some of the photograper in this one. Original dated June 13, 2010, and my feet were much improved by the foot surgery over a year ago now -- April 10 of 2009, to be exact. Before it, my toe next to the big toe on the right foot was flopped up and on the big toe. I can't wear flipflops because the big toe and the next one to it are just too close together, but I've discovered a sandal that's surely enjoyable to wear in warm Alabama summers. Even better – they're on sale now, two pair for $14.50 each. Gotta get me some more of these. Check out their features : Lands End Wedge Beach Slide

Spot putty added to low spots and areas of deep woodgrain. Next, I'll sand it down again, and apply more putty and another layer of filler primer. I'm trying not to get *too* crazy with this, because most of the platform will be covered by the turntable anyway.
