About this Travel Course
Students participated in journal based self-study explorations throughout the course in response to the people and places encountered during the journey. The final two weeks immersed each student into making wearable shoe prototypes alongside Italian footwear technicians in a hosted Italian school of footwear. Upon return to RISD, students had the opportunity to curate and exhibit their shoes at a pop-up gallery show in the library’s Visual + Material Resource Center
