3D Wooden Textiles for Beginners

3D Wooden Textiles for Beginners

“Congratulations! You've reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for taking part, we hope you enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the project you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new project! Either way, we strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help us understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. For your project, you will be creating a double-sided wood textile. Create 2 pieces of the following steps: The Sketch and Incisions Sketch a 5 cm diagonal grid onto the 100/35 cm veneer sheet. Then, using a utility knife, create 5 cm diagonal incisions.

Connecting the Strips and Creating New Incisions Turn the veneer sheet over and connect the diagonal strips with masking tape. After that, turn the veneer over again and create 5 cm diagonal incisions on the side of the veneer that has no masking tape. Adding a Layer of Glue Turn the veneer sheet over again and tape the strips again using masking tape (this is the second layer of masking tape). Next, using contact glue, create a thin layer on the side of the veneer that has no masking tape and add a layer of glue to your black cotton weave. Let the glue set for 10 mins. The Union between the Veneer and the Fabric Connect the glued side of your fabric to the glued side of the veneer and press down. Then, using a roller, eliminate any air pockets between the materials. Next, remove the masking tape and crop your textile to your desired size. Last Details Buff out any rough areas of the veneer using sandpaper and apply polish. For your curve compositing, apply wood glue to the weaving side of either one of your textile sheets and then attach both wood textiles together (weave to weave). Finally, choose your curves and set the shape using clamps. Full drying time: 12 hours. After that, for mounting, add double-sided tape. And that's all! We can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on 'Create your project'. We'll be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! We'll try getting back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community! See you there.”

“ Final Project Hi, and thank you for joining us on this course. We discovered wood veneer while studying Textile Design at the University of Shenkar. Since then, we've been absolutely fascinated by this material. We studied it and did many experiments and made lots of mistakes until we were able to create the wood textile technique. In this course, we're sharing for the first time our patented technique. As a final project, we showed you how to create a 3D wall panel using our wood textile technique. For that, the first step is to understand the material itself. We work with veneer sheets....”
