Together through this process we will capture the very core of design, thinking outside the box - and for the personal experience, we will each aim to see our own thoughts materialized. Materials and tools will include: different kind of plastics, paper, tape and other more or less transparent flat material. We will also use metal wire, wood sticks, superglue and glue guns, staple guns, cable ties, wooden branches and stretchy fabric.
The workshop will begin with a short presentation of Godspeed and the need for speed, then a kick-start with the making of 10 lamps. The following day will look at the previous day’s work at a miniature exhibition, with a review of what may be good or bad, having used a rapid approach to creating the lamps. We will then begin the making of any kind of hanging lamp, real size, for dinner table, a dark café, an office or just for show. Day 3: Continuing the hanging lamp and for the fast ones the making of a standing lamp. Day 4: Keep on continuing the hanging lamp and for the fast ones continuing the making of a standing lamp. Day 5: Finishing works, exhibiting and set up, photos, discussions, contemplating. The End.
