Focusing on selected visual symbols of Oyo people in Southwestern Nigeria, the research adopts a practice-based research approach in which traditional motifs are di...
Textile waste poses environmental and economic challenges in developing countries with limited recycling systems. This study investigates recycling potential for pre-consumer fabric waste from fashion houses in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. An exploratory studio-based methodology combined systematic...
This study addresses the need for modern textile practices to interpret and promote Nigeria's natural heritage, specifically the unique landscapes of Plateau State. Despite the area's rich geomorphology, its artistic documentation through contemporary textile techniques and exploration, such as hand...
Poor legibility of most typographical elements on billboards across Kaduna indicates that they lack conformity to standard principles and elements of typographic use, thereby, affecting the qualities of billboard design in terms of legibility, readability, kerning, leading and suitability as affecte...
This study explores the simulation of weaving draft patterns for hand-embroidered Hausa caps (kube) using Computer-Aided Design (CAD), specifically CorelDraw. It emphasizes alphabetical coding (name drafting) as a structured alternative to conventional pattern drafting methods. The primary aim was t...
This study explores the valorization of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) chaff ash (TNCA), a fibrous agro-waste by-product, as a sustainable flux material in high-fire ceramic glaze formulations. The research addresses the environmental burden of agricultural waste and the reliance on imported ceramic...
