constructed frame / fabric

creating the negative of your positive for your positive

an exercise in solid/void relationships

For Wednesday:

find felt along with two other fabric options for casting (3 fabric options in total)

fabric needs to be large enough to cut out shoe pattern

needle and thread (or equivalent stitching device) to seam your fabric together

pottery plaster #1

bucket for mixing

pitcher to hold/pour water

mixing utensil

*have negative pancake of shoe frame constructed

use mdf or masonite

frame must be constructed in two parts divided lengthwise down the center line

stack individual negative frames at the same increment you recorded your shoe

create base layer for cut model to stack above

offset using bolts and nuts as seen in the image below

attach bolts to base layer for stability

final model should be proportional to original shoe

example of bolt and nut construction method (not shape) for negative frame
