Worth reflecting on what is required for the summary
remembering to keep the positive momentum up in the studio

> development of that work and your progress to date. (300 words)
>
> It will also contain a summary of contextual references for your

DEBRIEF/EVALUATION session...
Whiteboard session - Things discussed
• Control
• Ownership/boundaries/limitations
• Communication/translation
• Being informed of the processes (so you’re not a blind operator)
• Time-lines/time frames. Realistic sense of time involved in fabrication
• False deadlines (safety net)
• Relevant information to the fabricator (what they need to know/what they don’t need to know)
• Thinking laterally about what a fabricator is
• Being prepared to be flexible/compromise in order to make the work
• Persevere until you find the right fabricator
• The power of exciting the fabricator with your project – creates sense of interest and pride
• Respect and sensitivity
• Maintain a detailed eye on the job – shows you are serious and care about the work, and value the skill undertaken
Colin will also be joining us again this thurs
