Resist-Based Pendants: Hollow Forms, Dimensional Surfaces and Object Entrapment

A course combining multiple three-dimensional techniques for small-scale object refinement. Design unique hollow forms and bails for hanging by using two-dimensional resists. Learn to encase durable found objects to add color, texture, material complexity and conceptual relevancy to your work. By simply wrapping fiber around an object one doesn’t provide ample space for the fibers to felt and therefore one must employ a resist larger than the object, which involves just a little calculation! Additionally, layer surface resists and partial felt to raise dimensional planes and explore the application of partial felt in a hollow form layout as a shrinkage resist to create convex surface protrusions that sculpt the form.Instructor provides for use during class: agitation and grip mats, wetting cloths, plastic resist, tyvek, wire brush, 3 scales at .00 acc
