For my final pieces I’ve designed a hexagonal vase with six petal like elements with have hexagonal openwork. I’ve fixed each petal at the base of the vase and about a fifth of the way up so they fall away from the main structure. I like the form of this design and I think the […]

Following my research on the geometric shapes surrounding bees, I began to construct hexagonal card sculptures. I tried to incorporate the beehive design into the forms I made that were more organic and I was interested in piercing on some pf my designs. After piercing a hexagonal pattern onto some card, the cut outs I […]

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’ […]

I decided to focus my form and facet research on the geometric shapes surrounding bees. I’ve tried to incorporate the hexagon shape that makes up a beehive into each of my designs. I made some 3D card models and photographed the interesting shadows they made on the reverse of the paper. I also experimented with […]

  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 began my visual research by drawing and painting the initial ideas that came to mind when thinking of the words crystalline and geometry. I did some observational drawings of crystals and some sketches of geometrical shapes which I then played around with in terms of possible vessels that could be made form each shape. […]
