The AC+D Program begins with a 10 day collaborative Design Build Intensive intended to help students learn how to work together and to design and make something for someone that could benefit from our skills.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH MAKING
Designers in education and industry 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 possibly the god-like power their creation conveys – and are less committed to following through with their actual realization with the same degree of passion.
In an effort to provide a ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ model of design education and practice, first year MFA AC+D students begin the program with a pre-semester, 10-day collaborative design-build intensive. The experience is 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. Emphasizing a philosophy of civic engagement, projects are selected based on their potential to benefit an organization or population that generally does not have access to and/or cannot afford to pay for the services of designers and makers.
Project Grow provides a space for artists to explore personal expression through an array of artistic mediums, as well as gain skill and experience working on a chemical-free farm with an emphasis on sustainability.
The urban farm's focus is to teach individuals farm skills and encourage a connection to their food source as they earn income from farming the land. Port City farmers cultivate reclaimed urban land spread across two blocks. The list of produce grown on the farm is bountiful and includes many varieties of vegetables, Northwest proven tomatoes, and other fruits such as raspberries, mulberries, blueberries, pears, kiwis, apples, currants, figs and grapes. In order to make our farm more sustainable and encourage understanding of the full cycle of plant life, we save our seeds and sell and trade them with community members and other local farms.
Goats and chickens are raised to teach individuals animal husbandry skills. The goats' beautiful fiber is processed and used for weaving, felting and other fiber projects. We also cultivate many plants used to make natural dyes, and encourage seed to cloth creation of fiber goods.
North Portland Farm produce is sold throughout the community. All of the chemical-free produce raised by Port City farmers is sold to restaurants, neighborhood stores, or as Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares.

Matthew Zeleny (he/him), Applied Research Technologist, and Kai Anderson (they/them), Grant Worker, from Camosun Innovates, worked on the design, manufacturing and production of colour-coded trays for vials containing Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine doses for children aged 5 to 11. Upon arrival in distribution centres, the vaccine vials are transferred from their original containers to boxes holding smaller quantities destined for individual care facilities, rural clinics, and remote communities. The orange trays with children’s doses are easily distinguished from the clear trays with youth and adult doses.

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…

The SS men applied a range of punishments in Auschwitz-Birkenau. These included bans on sending and receiving letters or parcels, making prisoners squat while supporting a stool in their outstretched hands, or making them stand between the barbed-wire camp fences while denying them food. There were also collective punishments, including penal roll call, penal physical exercise, and penal transports. In the case of infractions that they regarded as especially serious, the SS applied combined penalties, such as penal labor and confinement in the standing cell and flogging, followed by imprisonment in the camp jail or assignment to the penal company, or all these penalties together—flogging, jail, and then assignment to the penal company.

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.
