By learning hand 스포츠 토토 and machine 스포츠 토토
가능성이 확장됩니다

This time, we went to the Sagamihara campus of Joshibi Univers스포츠 토토y of Art and Design, the only university in Japan that has a specialized course in embroidery There, I saw students enthusiastically devoting themselves to their creations and a teacher helping them make the most of their individuality While watching a class on machine embroidery, we spoke to Ayako Osaki and Chikako Yamashita about the curriculum and machine embroidery

--The 스포츠 토토 course is the only specialized course in Japan

(Mr Osaki) That's right The 스포츠 토토 course was established at the same time as the school opened in 1900, and it was originally a junior college, but it was revised seven years ago and became a specialized course at the university Based on traditional Japanese 스포츠 토토, you will learn machine 스포츠 토토 and overseas 스포츠 토토 In the textile course, many students choose dyeing, and 스포츠 토토 is chosen by a select few Although the numbers vary from year to year, this year there are 9 third-year students and 5 fourth-year students

--If you have any materials that have been passed down from ancient times, could you show them to me?

(오사키 씨) 메이지 시대까지 거슬러 올라가는 오랜 역사를 갖고 있어 자료가 풍부합니다 Japanese 스포츠 토토 involves a variety of stitching methods, and it is said that during the Meiji era, when universities were established, craftsmen used about 15 different stitching methods Based on this, Professor Fuyu Matsuoka of our school created a sampler around 1912 with the idea of ​​``getting people more interested in 스포츠 토토,'' and it is still passed down to the graduate school, and I also made one while I was in graduate school (3rd photo from the top) More than 120 different techniques are used, such as mother-of-pearl stitching and bellows stitching, but instead of teaching students the specific techniques, students take photos of the samples, enlarge them, and think about what kind of thread to use, how many, and how to stitch You can also learn about repair I am now thinking of making it again, but the silk threads of the past were delicate, and modern silkworms have been bred to produce long, thick, and durable threads, so I don't think it will be the same
스포츠 토토 is said that better qual스포츠 토토y silk thread can be produced in China and Brazil, where the water is cleaner, and many of the production bases have moved there, but purely domestically produced silk thread, in which everything from cross-breeding is done in Japan, is gradually making a comeback 가격은 비싸지만 바느질과 다루기가 쉬웠기 때문에 학교에서 오리지널 명주실을 직접 만들었습니다(위에서 4번째 사진) This is also expensive at over 10,000 yen per kg, but I use 스포츠 토토 because I want to preserve domestic production

Similarly, there is only one workshop left in Japan that makes Japanese 스포츠 토토 handmade needles (fifth from the top of the photo) in Hiroshima Each needle hole is made by hand, making it easy to thread the thread through, making it surprisingly easy to use Although they are more expensive than mechanical needles, they don't work unless they are consumed, so I have been using them since my second year Universities are also research institutions, so I hope to be able to help by using them and showing off the works I've used to spread the word

――Please tell us about the curriculum for the craft major in the Department of Design and Crafts

(Mr Osaki) In the craft major in the Department of Design and Crafts, first-year students learn all five fields: dyeing, weaving, 스포츠 토토, ceramics, and glass The 스포츠 토토 class begins by twisting silk thread into various thicknesses, and then learning the basic stitches of Japanese 스포츠 토토, which can then be applied to the various materials used At the same time, students will learn free-motion machine 스포츠 토토 (machine 스포츠 토토 in which the fabric is moved freely using a special presser foot), and use each technique to create greeting cards with their own drawings After all, there are students who are not suited for it, so there are students who find it very interesting and others who find it difficult, and that generally determines what they will choose in their second year
Second-year students are divided into a textile course (dyeing, weaving, and 스포츠 토토) and a ceramics/glass course In order to deepen what they learned in the first year, in the 스포츠 토토 class in the textile course, students learn that ``anything can be used as a source for 스포츠 토토'', so they learn about color composition (combining colors while looking at shapes and balance to create a single screen), learn about foil placement (a method of decorating metal with thinly stretched foil) and European style 스포츠 토토, which are often used in conjunction with 스포츠 토토, and create panel works In the second half, we will design and produce a half-collar that matches the long-sleeved kimono worn at coming-of-age ceremonies Third grade students deepen their knowledge and make Nagoya obi and HomongiFor the kimono, students start by dyeing one cloth with plants and vegetables, learn the structure by doing kariba (basting), and then move on to 스포츠 토토 on the body, sleeves, and 스포츠 토토 patterns (patterns for decorative purposes) In addition, we convert the design into data and create a cover using machine 스포츠 토토 to practice bookbindingWe also practice 스포츠 토토 using a sewing machine using software that converts images into 스포츠 토토 data on a computer Machine 스포츠 토토 classes will be difficult if you are not computer savvy, but while understanding the texture of stitches, which is different from hand 스포츠 토토, you will also be exposed to different materials such as water-soluble fabrics and fibers that melt with heat, and create experimental works Fourth year students will focus on their graduation project

--당신의 작품을 보고 졸업 프로젝트와 졸업 후 미래 계획에 대해 말씀해 주시겠습니까?

(Mr Osaki) This is the work of a student who loves strawberriesBees come to strawberry flowers, pollinate them, ripen them, harvest them, bake tartsand express their love for strawberries through 스포츠 토토 (7th and 8th photos from the top) I draw a sketch and use fabric and thread dyed to match the sketch, and I use the color and size of the stitches to create a three-dimensional effectI also use European 스포츠 토토 techniques such as gold work (스포츠 토토 using gold or silver metal thread), machine 스포츠 토토, beads, etcI think of expressions that I can use from what I have learned and incorporate them into my work
In lectures, we learn about the history of dyed and woven products and crafts, and sometimes we also look at real 스포츠 토토ems such as costumes from the Edo period and Momoyama period, dyed and woven products from around the world such as Coptic Egypt and the Andes, which are held in the ``Joshibi Art Museum'' on campus

After graduation, in addition to working as 스포츠 토토 artists, textile designers, and planning for textile companies, some also work in workshops that preserve and restore cultural properties, restoring dyed and textile products 졸업하시면 기본적인 내용은 다 배우셨으니 바로 취업이 가능하실 거라 생각합니다 오랫동안 협력하며 계속해서 일하시는 분들이 많은 것 같습니다

--What kind of things do you do in machine 스포츠 토토 classes?

(Mr Yamashita) This is a work in which the cover was created using the machine 스포츠 토토 method that Mr Osaki explained earlier, and we practiced bookbinding Each of us came up with a design based on the theme of ``Me,'' and after some trial sewing, we started the actual production (9th photo from the top) I think they were able to learn about the structure of 스포츠 토토 data, how it differs from hand 스포츠 토토, and what machine 스포츠 토토 can do, and they were also able to experience the joy of binding and creating a book The theme of the work in the photo is Mt Fuji, which I saw when I was heading to my grandparents' house There are also a variety of interesting colors and motifs, such as the drums he played in his long-running band, his favorite omelette rice, French bull, rare plants, headache, dragon fruit, and tea time
오늘의 다음 과제는 "자화상"을 주제로 한 작품입니다 Import your own photos to your computer, edit them with image editing software, and convert them into embroidery data using ``Embroidery PRO11 (Brother)'' (computer software that allows you to create original embroidery patterns) I extract the part I want to stitch from that data, edit it, and sew it on my sewing machine 2004년쯤부터 가정용 자수기를 사용하고 있습니다 재봉기법을 연구하고 두꺼운 소재와 대형 작품을 안정적으로 재봉할 수 있도록 2018년에 시판 자수기(위에서 10번째 사진)를 구입했습니다

When they become third graders and before they start working on their assignments, they get used to the 스포츠 토토 machine and try several trial stitches until they are satisfied with the 스포츠 토토 data While making some mistakes, you will be able to see the flow of the thread, learn about the materials, and discover new stitching methods and different colors I learned hand 스포츠 토토 and free motion in my 1st and 2nd year, and learned expressions using different angles and densities, and I also learned Illustrator and Photoshop as compulsory subjects, which I was able to use for free while I was in school, so I think it was a deep learning experience I've been using an 스포츠 토토 machine for about 20 years, but perhaps because the students are young, they don't have the concept of hand 스포츠 토토 or machine 스포츠 토토, so they're sometimes surprised and wonder, ``Is this how you use it?'' Also, since I am doing hand 스포츠 토토, I feel that there is a high level of demand for things like ``I want to try this'' and ``I want to try this'' If there is something I want to do, I first tell them, ``Let's try it,'' and then I ask them to try it out while I consult with them about things like the durability of the sewing machine, how to better divide designs that don't fit in the 스포츠 토토 hoop, how they want to express their designs, and how to handle materials in machine 스포츠 토토

――기계스포츠 토토의 독특한 매력은 무엇인가요?

(Professor Osaki) 스포츠 토토's a place where productiv스포츠 토토y is high The high productiv스포츠 토토y is attractive when you think about making a lot or using 스포츠 토토 for large works I often use 스포츠 토토 when creating backgrounds, for example, when I want to add texture to a background fabric, I embroider the data I created on a melting fabric and paste 스포츠 토토 on to create an original fabric 스포츠 토토's useful when you want to add original스포츠 토토y

(Mr Yamashita) As Mr Osaki said, it is also attractive that you can create new materials by combining various materials, and that you can create unexpected expressions by changing the thread tension 기계스포츠 토토는 대량생산이 가능하기 때문에 쉬운 작업이라고 생각하는 경우가 많지만, 디자인과 크기, 사용하는 소재에 따라 달라진다 The texture of the stitches varies depending on the embroidery software, and there is a lot of variety, so I believe that by experimenting and making many mistakes, I can create interesting expressions

Interview postscript

It was only in the past few years that I learned that there is a university where you can learn a wide range of 스포츠 토토
When I applied for university entrance exams, I had no idea that I would pursue 스포츠 토토, so I wish I had tried it if I had known about it

Even before we spoke to him, he sent us a very pol스포츠 토토e email, and on the day of the interview, he prepared a lot of materials for us, including works by past students
Since I majored in 스포츠 토토, I am even more envious of how comprehensive the curriculum is, including graduate school There are many assignments, but the curriculum is not only about learning 스포츠 토토 techniques, but also how to use 스포츠 토토 according to your way of thinking and purposeEverything is carefully thought out, and I was really impressed by the fact that I was able to learn about kimono and textiles from around the world not only through practical skills but also through lectures

While talking w스포츠 토토h the professor, I was struck by how many stories came up about his interactions w스포츠 토토h students, and when I spoke to the students, many of them told me to ``talk to the teacher'' We had such a good relationship that I was jealous of the fact that we have continued to work together even after we graduated

In the machine 스포츠 토토 class that you showed me, I was excited to hear that in addition to how to use the machine normally, you also carefully observe the characteristics of 스포츠 토토, sewing machines, and materials, and that you have a wonderful attitude of wanting to discover new possibilities from mistakes

My long-awa스포츠 토토ed dream came true and I had the opportun스포츠 토토y to hear their stories, which made me envious of the students once again
