Handcrafting a jacket : an exploration of the pedagogy of handcrafting in the textile classroom Clark, Heather Cram
Abstract
Much can be learned through the process of handcrafting a jacket. A variation of A/R/Tography, HC/R/Tography, is utilized in this paper to explore and research the connections of the handcrafter, research, and teacher, and the implications that this has for home economics in general and the textiles and clothing classroom in specific. Images taken throughout the handcrafting process serve to track progress from inspiration, to making, and explore final metamorphosis, while creating connections in learning and understanding. By creating a jacket, the concept of handcrafting is explored, reflecting on the meaning of each step as it relates to curriculum and pedagogy in a clothing, textile and fashion classroom. Handcrafting as a process is used to explore the concepts of inspiration, creation and metamorphosis and their relationship to the pedagogy of experiential and transformative learning in home economics. Handcrafting was selected as the focus for this paper due to my personal connections with it throughout my education and career. The research question, “What does handcrafting teach?” is used to explore facets of the handcraft practice and how it relates to curriculum and pedagogy within the clothing and fashion classroom.
