Week 5 Glue and cloth structure 11/10/11

In this session we were instructed to encorporate 1 or more chairs into the structure and wrap it in cling film making sure that we covered all surfaces concentrating on the legs. Shape created by the cling film made a smoothter more interesting shape. Once the shape was wrapped we started to stretch the fabric over the structure.

Using mutton cloth and tights we stretched them over the chairs .We aimed to cover as much of the structure as possible, in order to create a solid structure.

To make the structure stronger we then covered it in a diluted pva solution so when it had dried the structure would hold its shape.

As the structure was saturated in glue we had to use a hair dryer to help it along.

We spent the rest of the session doing 2 minute drawings of  our sculpture and other peoples work with out looking at the page.  Once the glue has set we will use it on the stand.
