Ceramic Station

Multiple sessions (29 September, 13 October, +??, 1 December, 3 December 2021)
It took forever to make a cup/cups but they are beautiful so worth going through it.

Slip casting method
make a cup shape with clay
make the mould by using the casting technique with plaster
let it dry
pour liquid clay (this technique is called 'slip casting')
let it dry
trim the edges and smoothen the surface with a sponge
put it in the oven (680 biscuit)
glaze it
put it in the oven again (depends on your glaze either 1080 / 2080)

Build it from scratch with your hand
make a long strip with clay, smoothen the surface
careful, if you make it too big and not really smooth the surface thoroughly it might break.

Second session (11 November 2021)
-Learned how to make soft button, switch. Also how to learn subliminal heating machine at Publication sation

How to use the heating machine
you can purchase subliminal paper at the publication station
this method works better if you use synthesized fabric
Emm tried this machine with 100% cotton tot bag the other day, and it was not really visible

ironing vliesofix at the fabric station
vliesofix purchase here
what is vliesofix?
This Vliesofix® product is an iron on adhesive web fusing, ideal for appliqués, handcrafts, repairs, and hems. This is a transparent web like dry feeling adhesive, on a protective paper. The paper backing supports the web adhesive while drawing, tracing, and cutting your appliqué or shape, as well as when ironing.

Doc V1/ Adv 2 Start in the digilab

how to use the laser cutting machine
prepare your file in illustrator
RGB file/ R(255, 0, 0) is cutting / B(0, 0, 255) is kiss cutting / Black is engraving
the stroke should be 0.01pt
send your file to the computer, open it in illustrator and press print
set it to VLS -> the window will pop up to the next monitor
adjust the settings to whatever materials you wish to cut
sometimes(very rarely) z axis might be off, so make sure go-to 'systems' and check whether the z-axis is checked
you can also skip cutting/engraving by setting 'manual control' rest->skip

how to use 3D printer
prepare your file in these programs: https://www.tinkercad.com/
put your file into the SD card you prepared
make a reservation for the 3D printer
insert SD card to the 3D printer you reserved
sometimes you need to apply liquid glue onto the surface
prepare the plastic wire, and press 'print'
kinda forgot how it worked

First session (2 December 2021)
-Learned how to use the laser cutting machine
Second session (9 December 2021)
- Learned how to use the 3D printer
For our Special Issue 16, Erica and I 3D printed an API key!
Our initial idea was by letting this API key travel from one to another, one can have exclusive access to certain contents on our SI16 webpage through typing the API key written on this API key.

etc_Filter / Negative Space / Starting Point

atm() I'm working on rejection as a negative space(categorized as 'others' or 'et cetera') but also as a starting/turning point/a trigger for an action with Gersande.

For more info >>>etc_Filter / Negative Space / Starting Point<<<

rejection as a spectrum

I feel like all the keywords in the rejection glossary are inter-connected, overlapping. During the class with Cristina(9th of November) I draw this. A filter/slider/spectrum that every glossary fall under that slider. Imagining a position of each glossary is ongoing shifting, a constant dialogue between these keywords.
