My favorite part of last year was by far going to Savannah, Georgia for the SNAG conference, I had never been to Georgia and this was a new and exciting experience on many levels. I didn’t know at all what to expect but i learned a lot about the field and became aware of some of the issues surrounding the arts community.
The entire SNAG conference was educating but the part that I enjoyed the most was visiting Working Class Studio, located on the Savannah Collage of Art and Design campus. This design group is made up of faculty, students and alumni that run a design and production business, creating household items such as pillows, notebooks, plates and picture frames. Their products are available online and in some retail locations on the east coast.
We were able to see how the design studio was set up and talk to some of the students and alumni involved in running the design studio. we even got to visit while they were having a trunk show, so naturally everyone stocked up.
This whole operation was such a great idea, it offers students the opportunity to develop designs and be hands on with the production of objects.
