BOISBUCHET WORKSHOP 2014
PLASTIC
Polymorph
The Boisbuchet
summer workshops are held in Lessac, France every year. Organised
in cooperation with the Vitra
Design Museum and The
Centre Pompidou. They are an invitation for designers and makers
to work with a group of people from all over the world in a unique
and beautiful location. This year I decided to work with unique materials
for a workshop titled PLASTIC. Thank you to Boisbuchet
for the amazing venue, and to Carlo
Cialli for some amazing photographs. Photographs included here
are also taken by me and
Cemal Okten who took part in the workshop. (I apologise that these
photos are so jumbled up - there were too many interesting things
going on!) |
Below are all the images from the teams and individuals:
Tim & Sergio
Junpei & Felix
Cemal & Ingrid
blowing like glass
turning, first with chisel then just using heat
cemal using a toilet seat while cooking
a discovery that you could create water tight seams with it
a small model - could it be a bucket, or a sink?
small rivet melted in
some spectacles for the party
they decided to make a canoe
they found some old Freitag tarpaulin material
and bonded it together using the polymorph
because the polymorph can be reheated and reused, they just added on bits as they went |
between cooking and boat building
they made some composite flaps
they added decorative figure heads of workshop components

it would have looked great at night with a candle in the centre... we never did it!
