Type
Fabrication Study

A course about testing materials instead of drawing them. Our group mixed white concrete powder, water, and sawdust, changing the proportions, the wetness, and the heat until it set hard enough to hold weight. We cast a grid of samples, kept the one that worked, and used that mix to cast a working coffee table.

Mixing by hand: wet sawdust in a plastic tub, then the same mix after the white concrete powder goes in
Casting: a cylindrical mold on the workbench, and a ribbed cast cylinder standing on a round cast slab
