This class introduces the foundational texts that have shaped the field of design since the late 19th century, and theoretical texts by artists who address design in their works. Presentations focus on three-dimensional objects created for the mass market or interior design projects. Students must also design an object that is intended for mass production or interior decor.

Tammy Staley: Vase Design
This Eco-friendly vase is designed to appeal to environmentally sensitive individuals or restaurant owners who appreciate a unique product that aligns with their ecological values. No two vases are the same. Each is handmade, unique, and 100% recyclable. Paper types can be chosen to emphasize a particular theme or mood.
The vase begins as a 12” x 12” piece of handmade paper. It is starched then formed, and is held together with a few small drops of wax. A 3” x 2” piece of thin bamboo is inserted at the base to help the vase hold its form. Finally, wax is melted and applied to the inside of the vase covering bottom and extending two inches up the sides to provide structural support a water proof seal. Up to 2 inches of water can then be added. Final dimensions are approx 8" in height and 4" in width.
