Introduction to construct

For the introduction to construct we took part in a lecture about qualities of materials which followed with an exercise in which the group had pots of a variety of fibres and yarns and a booklet with descriptions of each yarn which we had to match up. This was something I found challenging as fibre an yarn qualities isn't something Ide previously concentrated much on however once I concentrated I managed to work the fibres out, this is something I recognised is vital for working within construct because knowing the limitations of fibres and yarn can completely change a woven or knitted material. The rest of the introduction week was primarily drawing based, I created a variety ink an bleach experiments and then made yarn wrappings to show the colour scheme I used, I created some interesting marks with the ink and bleach which I then mimicked in my drawings.
