MAY TERM DAYS 1.5 & 2: Before, During & Beyond the Sheet
Reposted from http://theperformativeprint.blogspot.com/.
We are covering a ton of ground in this course. In the first of three weeks, we have covered beating fiber, forming sheets, woodshop, using the lasercutter, printing pronto plates, basic relief and screen printing, low brow construction, wheatpaste and a slew of other junk.
This week has been all about filling the well. We hope students are energized by the limitless possibilities that might result from employing any combination of the new practices we introduce. We took sheets made on Day 1 and printed on them with pronto plates, then tested out rastering them with the laser cutter. Day 3 we would later print to them with wood blocks and screens, and form them to armatures.
The real fun begins when we move into the projects hardcore starting next week.
