Sample Photo Shoot

Tensile knit

Here is a piece that I knitted on the Shima Seiki using nylon monofilament and elastic.

I then dyed it in turmeric.

And then built a wooden frame in which I intend to stretch the knitted construction.

This piece will be photographed for the Sample Catalogue.

DORA KELEMEN

Angel - These paper pieces by Dora Kelemen look as if they have been created from bun cases with holes cut out of the bottom!

Below are images from her Diploma Project - Translucent Puffy Jacket.

Photo Shoot Venue

The venue for our Sample photo shoot is a church.  I wanted a domestic setting for my knitting so I chose this serving hatch that opens up onto a dinky little kitchen.  I am in the process of knitting a piece that will stretch across the serving hatch and back into the kitchen, hopefully you will be able to catch glimpses of the kitchen setting through the knit.
