Project #1: Makers Manual STORE Store commissioned a selection of exciting designers to create a bi-weekly series of downloadable manuals for objects you can make at home. A new manual will be uploaded to STORE's website every other Wednesday from the 15th April until further notice.

Everyone who makes it into the book with received a free copy. Company: @storeprojects Place: @coaldropsyard

This manual will teach you the fundamentals of botanical textile dyes with dyestuffs from kitchen waste as well as some techniques for creating tie dye patterns. We’ll use socks as an example here, but you are welcome to try t-shirts, pillowcases and other textile items you have at home. Cover scouring, mordanting (optional), tying and dyeing with dye recipes made from onion skins, pomegranate rinds, and avocado pits.

Lauren MacDonald is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, and the creator of textile studio, Working Cloth. Her practice is textile focussed and spans interaction design, installation, sculpture, and two-dimensional stitched forms.

This manual is for those looking to work with an alternative to glass at home. Explore 3D shape creation through the making of these small temporary objects using isomalt. This method of production allows free experimentation with form, which helps to develop your own personal design language.

THIS MANUAL WILL BE RELEASED ON APRIL 29th 2020

Marco Campardo is a London-based designer focusing on design and research and across different platforms, materials and disciplines. He has a particular interest in making as a form of critical practice, where objects are understood as tools to explore wider narratives about culture, materiality, identity and authenticity. Marco’s approach to design was developed through work with M-L-XL, a studio he co-founded. He has exhibited work at the London Design Festival, Milan Design Week, Tate Modern, London Design Biennale, Venice Art and Architecture Biennale.
