  3-D renderings of printed design Redesigns on rhino redesigned for this assignment Original design from other assignment Original design for this assignment For this assignment originally I had another design, it was gonna be a baby swaddle that I made a long time ago out of fabric and put flowers into it. I thought it would be really great, but it took so long to design and I ran out of time with that one. And because my other assignment was failing, I realized I could still make a pot for the slip cast using the 3D printer instead.  My first attempt cracked at the bottom I believe this was because I touched it when it was still wet as well as as try to print the bottom instead of just clay at the bottom and then printing on top of the clay Second and third attempt came out way better   Then I experimented with the printer, seeing its capacity. I did this because I saw a video of someone turning ceramics into tubes and making them look like woven baskets, and I...

Plaster Mold & Slip Cast Object So my strategy was to make a planter pot with a water drip tray at the bottom  It’s supposed to be a jellyfish... After using the CNC machine to carve out a positive for the mould, I realized how difficult plaster mould-making actually is. It took me several attempts, and all of them failed at some point. At one stage, everything spilled into each other and I ended up with a full table covered in white plaster that took me over an hour to clean......       I had five attempts at making the plaster mould, and each one fell apart. The top piece needed five separate moulds to fit together, but I ran out of time because I kept failing. I would still try this again since I have the foam positive, but realistically I should’ve scaled the project down. I had never worked with ceramics before, so taking this on was already a lot. For the top piece alone, I made around nine attempts , three leaked, two were mixed at the wrong consist...

I actually redid this tutorial at the beginning of the semester just to refresh my brain  It was fun. It’s how I designed our first project This project was inspired by an art piece that I did two years ago. It was two dream catchers that were going into each other. I always reimagined doing this art piece just because a I felt like It didn’t get justice because of the gallery where the show was. ghosted us and now they’re closed because of embezzlement lol. I reimagined it as humungous Installation because everyone kept laying underneath this piece During the gallery show open. So I wanted to redesign it and maybe use this design for this model for new proposals for my next art show. I found this pattern and a tutorial on how to map a sphere and make lines in between them, and then I built piping onto the lines, combined them all, added some texture, and rendered it.
