Projects development

At first I was thinking too much about product and too little about material and experimentation below is what I wrote then: Lampshade (metal/paper Mâché, a historical example?) Research Lampshade DIY instructions Paper Maché lamp This was the first hit on google images when typing 'Paper Maché lamp' It is pretty common and easy to make your own DIY 'Paper Maché lamp, I want this lamp to have something different and unique. some photos That's why I want to play with the light coming from the lamp and add in colours, or reflections and maybe motion to the lampshade.

Tie-wraps structure

A simple tie-wrap construction

The tie-wrap construction is something that is strong yet very agile when it comes to moving and bending. It could be interesting to make an moving piece out of this. I can imagine a breathing statue if you will.

3D Printing in school

My first successful 3D print, A geometrical tower

My starting point was the 3D printer, I have been wanting to explore this for a while and now I got a chance to do so. On the right is my first successful print ever.

My second print, a crane to test how the 3D printer would deal with an overhang.

I then wanted to test the limits of the machine by printing a crane as suggested by Jon. To see how the printer would handle something that is not very predictable. The overhang turned out quite nice and is something I could have explored further.

My third print, plastic trails before going to Unfold to print with clay.

Printing plastic pots as trails for the workshop at Unfold. Besides a trail this is also my comparative example. Plastic vs. Clay, in clay you have many limitations you do not have in plastic. For example in plastic you van print over 45 degrees, which is not possible with clay since it will just tumble down. Also, plastic dries instantly and clay does not.

Printing Ceramics in Antwerpen (A Shared Example)

Something I wanted to explore was salt ceramics, however when me and Colin went to the printing workshop Dries told us that he didn't want salt in his oven because it gave of poison fumes. We made it a shared example by all accepting an fixed diameter for the lower (10cm) and upper ring (7cm), so that the cups should be able to stack.

To do:

• upload 3d models from pots
• model and print a city
• breathing structure out of tiewraps
• upload previous process pictures
• make a pot on the turn table to go back to the roots of pottery
• 3d print a city

Things to think about:

• Ice
• Candle

Deliverables

1. A historical example
2. A comparative example
3. An example of a new skill
4. An example of a material pushed to the limit
5. A shared example
