This post is not about Fashion or Art but about my learning process in a FabLab and by taking you on my journey in small and easy steps I hope to provide you in the future some impressive pieces of fashion and art!As photographer and fashion graduate I am interested in and fascinated by new inventions, about printing my photographs in different ways, in 3D printing for fashion items and a combination for those two.
Since last week I started in a FabLab. I have the opportunity to investigate new technologies and share it with you! Today I started by learning how to print on T-shirts, scroll down to see a glimpse of the process.
But first what is a Fab Lab?
Fab Labs provide widespread access to modern means for invention. They began as an outreach project from MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA), and became into a collaborative and global network. A Fab Lab is a technical prototyping platform for innovation and invention, providing stimulus for local entrepreneurship.
A Fab Lab is also a platform for learning and innovation: a place to play, to create, to learn, to mentor, to invent. Working within a Fab Lab means connecting to a global community of learners, educators, technologists, researchers, makers and innovators- -a knowledge sharing network that spans 30 countries and 24 time zones.
Because all Fab Labs share common tools and processes, the program is building a global network, a distributed laboratory for research and invention.
