Project 1: Tile Design System – Capturing Plaster in Time

We began this project with a set of iterative, experimental material studies to build an understanding of how plaster responds to other materials in the it’s working process. After two iterative cycles we focussed on one specific technique: plaster poured into molten paraffin wax, which highlights the unique nature of the plaster working process. Initial Experiments

Project 1: Tile Design System – Group Clay

Elizabeth Lister, Jonathan Liang, Michael Stesney, Ruohai Ge System objectives Although we initially intended to explore armatures, we narrowed the focus of our system to exploring the creation of molds with material that could be fabricated or marked by a robot. Clay was chosen for its utility, allowing us to experiment with expressive objects and
