I enjoyed completing this assignment and, whilst not all my practice samples were successful in most cases I understand why and will learn from these samples to adapt and refine future work. In particular I am developing a better feel for matching materials to tools (the paper choice in the crumpling exercises for example) and […]
This project comprised the following two exercises: Exercise 1 – Puncturing Exercise 3 – Stitching
For this project I chose the embossing exercise, exercise 2.
For this project I chose to attempt the heating exercise.
This project was not selected.
This part comprises the following exercises: Project 1 Exercise 1 – Linear accordion pleats Exercise 2 – Rotational accordion pleats Exercise 3 – Knife and box pleats Exercise 4 Exercise 5 Exercise 6 – Linear crumpling
Introduction This exercises introduces the idea of using embossing techniques to create texture. i) Tissue paper on anaglypta with lollipop stick and spoon Here I used a piece of printed anaglypta under thin tissue paper and embossed with a lollipop stick then a spoon. ii) Tissue paper over lollipop sticks with spoon As the anaglypta […]
Introduction For this exercise we explore the use of hot and cold water on synthetic fabrics to achieve texturing and shaping. After shaping polyester or similar fabrics around moulds/shapes (buttons, pebbles, etc.) the fabric is boiled for around 30 minutes then plunged in very cold water before being allowed to dry and the mould removed. […]
Introduction This exercise looks at crumpling paper and other materials in a linear way (as opposed to the more random technique in exercise 5). Further moulding extends the range of shapes that can be created. i) Linear ribs – Parchment paper A series of fine ribs was created by rolling the baking parchment paper into […]
Introduction This exercise uses crumpling paper to give it stretch and flexibility as well as creating added texture. i) Crumpling – Brown paper wrap For this exercise the nearest I could find to the paper suggested was a lightweight glossy brown paper. ii) Single rib – Brown paper Scrumpled paper with a single rib, rather […]
