PULP development 2

After producing a flat piece of paper, as shown in previous post, i left it to dry completely. This took about 5 days. I then tried to shape it just creating folds to test how well it could be moulded. The video above shows a piece that had come apart from the large piece due to the paper being made up of six small pieces. I found the paper too brittle to bend into a nice curve and the more i played around with it the more it cracked and began to fall apart. I then used the bigger piece and tried to bend it on a straight line as oppose to a curve. This worked slightly better but still created cracks. After i had folded it i decided to spray it lightly with water to soften the corners. This allowed me to create softer corner and to push the cracks back together. Currently, the open seam is held together by bulldog clips. I have wet the edges and i'm hoping that they'll start to fuse together. I don't think this method works as i'd like it to as i can...

Sophie saves the planet first draft

SOPHIES SAVES THE PLANET This is Sophie, she just turned 7 and she lives on Planet earth, probably where you live too! Sophie grew up in the on a farm in the Yorkshire countryside and lived with her mum, dad, sister and kitten Oscar. They grew their own vegetables, got all of their food at the local shops and spent their days playing in the nearby fields when not at school. Their kitten Oscar even used to make friends with the sheep! They loved living there, but when Sophie was 6 her mum got a job in London! How exciting, she thought! She couldn’t wait to tell all of her friends at school about the move and within a few weeks they were off. They promised to send letters back and forth and promised she would come back and visit all the time As they approached London Sophie began to worry, she noticed that there weren’t many fields, the shops were all much bigger and there were more people than she’d ever seen in her life! The next day Sophie and her mum...

PULP

23rd September  PULP AIM - use recycled paper waste to create pots, vases and bowls that can be used in a variety of ways (both functional and decorative) How will i find the best method? test different types of paper different ways of moulding the vessels different ways of adding colour  different soaking times/amount of water length of drying time before de-moulding adding in other materials? thickness of paper - how does it affect stability/ability to dry fully First test -Using waxy papers and crushed broken old paper bowls and tissue.  -Using a mix of fibres to see if that allows the pulp to hold together better. -Left to soak for a couple of hours then blended with a lot of water -Applied to mould still quite wet and applied in a medium thickness. Thickness worked well/held together relatively well but the removal from the mould is what cracked the edges - need to find a better way of doing that. Maybe grease mo...
