4th International Creative Competition for New Designer Makers, Milan, Italy, February 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2015, Mark Pompelia, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\u00a0Visual + Material Resource Librarian, accompanied a double-major RISD student (Apparel Design-Industrial Design) on an international exhibition program called\u00a0Craft the\u00a0Leather<\/em>. Based in the Tuscan Leather District of San Miniato, Italy, the program hosted ten schools for a weeklong immersion into the industry of vegetable-tanned leather making, which is both centuries old and full of modern innovation.<\/p>\n

On Monday, April 18, 2016 at 4 p.m. in the Digital Scholarship Lab at the Rockefeller Library<\/strong>, Mark\u00a0will explain how the week served to launch each student on an artistic journey to craft a line of works based on the sites visited, lessons learned, and the inherent qualities of the supplied leathers. Produced over summer 2015 in direct consultation with the Material Librarian, the works were collected\u00a0in a curated\u00a0exhibition launched at a February 2016 international exposition in Milan.<\/p>\n
