In the Spring of 2002, students in Professor Steve Dolbin's Three Dimensional Design course were given an assignment to create clothing using materials that are not commonly associated with clothing. Due to flooding in the Archives, it was necessary to display the students' creations until Spring 2003. These photographs are a few items from that exhibit.
