Starting this workshop was a challenge, as the process was entirely new to me. I began with a cube of plaster, aiming to mold it into a different shape. Early on, I had to figure out how the material worked, which tools to use, and whether to rely on patterns or measurements.<\/p>

We began by analyzing natural objects like tropical fruits and pine cones. I chose the beechnut and focused on abstracting its triangular shape. The base resembled a pyramid, with surfaces that shifted from convex to concave. To capture this, I experimented with geometric principles and crafted models from cardboard, paper, clay, and foam.<\/p>

The biggest step was working with the final material, which was both time-consuming and full of reversals. However, the process taught me invaluable lessons, and for me, that\u2019s what mattered most.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
