T his week I've been experimenting with different prototypes and trials to test the feasibility of my design plans. Before doing this I did some drawing on the computer and made two design schematics. This one was inspired by the poem ' The Butterfly Hiding from the Rain ' by Lin Ping. The poem describes a butterfly that gets lost and enters the poet's window when a rainstorm is coming. I combined the butterfly with traditional Chinese costume patterns to create my first design, 'Butterfly Labyrinth', and put Lin Ping's poetry on the back of the bag. For the materials test I made a specimen of the butterfly and after the specimen had dried I found that the butterfly's wings were too fragile to be used as a material for my work. The inspiration for this image came from the food I buy every day and I used a combination of fish scales and kale to make this design. I collected fish scales from the market and preserved them by deep-frying and baking the...
In this week, I polished, glazed and fired the previous works. First calcination, forming pottery (1000 ℃) polishing The colored glaze The transparent glaze
In this group, the chair I was assigned was beautiful in appearance but very difficult. Every Angle of the chair was a special Angle, instead of 90 or 30 degrees, which were easy to make. It needed very precise measurement to draw the mold. Our team made a 3D model of the model to study how much cement was needed to make the chair. When calculating the amount of cement, our team considered making the chair a hollow chair without changing its appearance, but without making it solid in the middle. We used mathematical methods to measure and calculate each piece of mold, and finally rounded to get an Angle data after one decimal point for model making.
