| − | My goal for this course was to experiment as much as possible with different techniques and materials. I used the different stations for this. My focus was on the experiment not on the outcome, or a craft product. Trying new techniques and experimenting with them was interesting but incomplete. When I look back at it I should have gone more deeper into it and try out within a technique, or use a tool with different materials. I am now in a further state of research and experiments and want to tryout some new things within a material and with a different starting point. After my general orientation I hope to find out more interesting things from my new starting point

| − | During theory on ‘arts and crafts’ I’ve become interested in the arts and craft movement and in particular in the roots of it which lie in the resistance against industrialisation. Therefore, I’ve focused on - and experimented with this in my research. Whilst experimenting I realised that to me the tools and the process were often more interesting than the outcome. For example: In one of the workshops where I cut styrofoam with heated copper I found out that I didn’t appreciate the effect whereas I did find the experiments with styrofoam interesting. The contrast and similarities between automated tools and classical tools seemed to be a good starting point to repeat my initial experiments. I focused on copper because I found this interesting during my early high pressure experiments.

| − | My experiments were very diverged, this is because I love to work varied and am eager to learn as much skills as possible. In my new experiments I want to go deeper into a certain direction. Right now I am searching for the relationship to the tool. With machines we can develop everything in high speed but what are the pros and cons versus craft. I'm not afraid to try new things, I usually pretend I’m in control but often I let myself be surprised me by coincidence of the process.
