This workshop will be held at Chroma Colour Textiles Studio, a new textiles studio downtown Toronto. Conceptually the workshop will explore themes of community building and togetherness. Creative coworking spaces are integral for creative individuals on multiple levels. On a practical level, they are essential for offering shared resources and to rent spaces that would otherwise be cost prohibitive as a solo artist. From a creative standpoint they can help promote collaboration, mutual aid and inspiration.

This workshop will begin by introducing participants to fabric marbling, an ancient aqueous surface design technique. Students will then get to design and create their own original marbled faces. The faces can be self portraits, the face of someone important to them or the face of a fictional character. 

Materials fee $20 per person.

Location / Lieu : Toronto Metropolitan University, MA Studio

Join us for a workshop led by the Managing Editor of the Fashion Studies journal.

The first half of the session offers a comprehensive introduction to academic publishing, beginning with an overview of Fashion Studies and its objectives. From there, we’ll walk through the stages of peer review and discuss the criteria journals like Fashion Studies look for in submissions. We’ll also explore the landscape of open-access scholarship, highlighting its advantages and the growing movement toward greater accessibility and inclusivity in publishing.

The second half of the workshop will shift into a Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and engage in small-group discussions on strategies for preparing submissions. By the end of the session, participants will feel empowered with the tools and confidence to share their academic and creative work with the world. Join us in fostering more inclusive and accessible publishing practices while amplifying diverse voices and perspectives.

No cost.
