Process

In this project, the work is structured as a methodology based on experimentation, feedback, iteration and documentation.

Material & Process Experimentation

This is the first key milestone of the project. It focuses on initial material and process experiments that lay the foundation for further development.

Below is a first proposal of experiments to be carried out starting in January.

For details about each bucket, refer to the following pages:

Observation & Feedback Collection

Lab-level experimentation drives this project, while input from local wool producers and innovators informs the development of processes.

I am gathering insights from Woolshed partners, other labs and experimental practitioners to understand how different approaches perform and identify opportunities for improvement.

Planned sessions with Le Textile Lab and FR Woolshed will test techniques, collect feedback, and document results, linking controlled lab experiments with practical knowledge from the broader network.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

Documentation in this project is about capturing process steps, observations and insights from prcess and material tests.

This information is shared with collaborators and the local wool network through simple records, photos and occasional workshops.

In this project, I will create samples to explore materials and techniques while documenting each step to collect insights and observations.

In the coming days, I will work on a layout to be used as a reference for ongoing experiments. -->

Material Outcomes/Fabrication

once you start designing and fabricating your first tests, you can link both at the bottom of the page with footnotes

Support needed

I am seeking guidance from the Fabricademy network, both remotely and in-lab, on methodology (process and material testing), as well as facilitating workshops to gather meaningful feedback.

Mentoring notes

Mentors in all sessions may share with you their comments, notes, advise, projects and technical equipment to check out. This is good place to share those, so that you can find them later on when you need them the most!
