Technique

It is the process of reshaping synthetic fabric into new configurations by pleating, moulding or crushing, using heat to alter the molecular structure and subsequently stabilize itself when cooled.

Relevant materials
– Organza polyester
– Aluminum foil
– Elastic bands
– Small objects that can take heat; water resistant and no colour run
– Electric heater and pot

Process:

Reflection:

• Interesting technique to create form and to give texture to fabric.
• From the results, i noticed that the technique is more suited for lateral dispersion of form/texture (purple) rather than longitudinal (grey). Skeptical point: How far can we create form and texture longitudinally?
