Fashion show seeking participants

Organizers of the “Statement Making Fashion Show” seek students, faculty and staff members to make and/or model a garment or accessory created by utilizing fabrication equipment in either the College of Computing and Informatics Makerspace Lab or the Rowe Arts Fabrication Lab.

Both labs house 3D printers, laser cutters, milling machines and other equipment to fabricate fashion show items.

Johanna Okerlund, a Ph.D. student in the College of Computing and Informatics, said the show is an opportunity “to raise awareness about fabrication and our fabrication facilities, invite new people into our spaces, give them a platform through which to explore fabrication, encourage collaborations between disciplines and get people excited about making.”

The “Statement Making Fashion Show” is scheduled for 6 p.m., Thursday, April 27, in Belk Plaza. For more information, email Okerlund at jokerlun@uncc.edu or Madison Dunaway at mdunawa2@uncc.edu.
