STRIP LAMINATE BENDING |
Curved shapes
with structural integrity are important to furniture making as seen in Jerry’s
comprehensive slide presentation of modern furniture and sculpture.  Learn
how to design and make forms for Strip Laminate Bending. See many ways to prepare strips
for this process. Helpful tips will be shared for achieving the best results in lieu of
spring-back and bend-in. Adhesive choices are many and dried glue removal from bends
requires special techniques as does shaping through glue lines. Design curved shapes into
your next project after finishing this course. There isn't time
for making individual projects, but you might want to make this
mirror at home. You will have an opportunity to look at
templates and make templates to take home. The new form that
is made is that of a horse shoe shaped mirror frame.
Next class is Sat March 15th,
