Brief:

You will be divided into groups of two or three. The idea is to mentor expertise and pass on your experience to the other. Surface students will mentor jewellery students in their fields of expertise and vice versa. Make a wearable design using woven wire, chainmail and crocheted yarn. The item can be attached to any part of the body and needs to be functionally wearable. The piece needs to be completed within the time frame, so plan and manage your project accordingly.

Task:

Make a wearable design using brass chain mail and fabre based crochet. Document all your preparatory work, designing, prototyping and reflection in a visual diary/web page [blog].

Materials:

Brass rods, brass wire and fibre yarn [both natural and/or synthetic]

Assessment Criteria:

What is the level of exploration and experimentation with the techniques and materials?

crocheting
chain mail

What is the level of design competence

understanding of the materials and techniques
innovation
how much research has been made and absorbed into the designing

library references
internet

What is the level of finish

neatness and care

Lecturers: Mark, Verna and John
