My final designs for the form and facet brief are a pair of silver goblets and a silver plate with a condiment bowl inspired by the hexagonal shapes found in beehives. Each piece will have a hammered finish with a high polish and are designed to be bought as a light hearted ‘wine and dine’ […]

  My designs looked much more finished after they’d been rendered and I could better visualise what they might look like in real life if I were to develop them further. I’ve been working with the hexagon shape to relate to my form and facet research where I’ve been looking at the geometric shapes surrounding […]

I really enjoyed using the revolve and rail revolve commands to create vessels as I found it gave me more creative freedom to come up with interesting outlines which I could play with to achieve different designs.               

After the first lesson I found it easier to work my way around the Rhino programme. I enjoyed creating the flat shapes to be etched and laser cut, I found it easier to work with than the 3D solid shapes. I also liked the tracing tool to replicate my drawing and extrude it to create […]

 Having only used CAD a handful of times, I initially struggled with using the controls and properly creating a design, but after a few tries I was able to make some vessels I was pleased with.
