First day back! Today in Textiles: Surface Form we were introduced to the surface form technique of thermoplastics. Through applications of heat shaping, synthetics can be manipulated to permanently memorise shape or surface texture. In our studio class today, we experimented with a variety of thermoplastic techniques as a means to discover new pleat geometries and the design potential in sculpted surfaces. We manipulated polyester fabrics by using certain materials such as marbles, coins and strings to create innovative textural surfaces.
