ASSEMBLAGE
This week was quite eventful, during the week I did my assignment for the colour workshop and brought it along with me to class, without realizing I am having colour workshop the following week and I had EPC that morning.
I went down to the workshop after realizing I was supposed to be there, we mentioned different methods of assembling materials, which were, joining, tying, welding, nailing, sewing, braising, screwing, bonding, taping, stitching, clipping, pinning, wiring and many more.
I didn't bring any materials for the EPC workshop because I didn't know I had EPC; nevertheless, after finding chopsticks and tape in my bag, I went to the EPC workshop and got some scraps of wood and plastic to use for the evaluation.
I believed that these materials could be used to create anything. The enjoyable part was that I wasn't asked to design anything, we were told to just assemble the materials then think about design.

After getting the materials, I started off by dividing the wood into half, then I made pillars and spaces for the pillars I made to fit in one half of the wood. Then I joined the other half of the wood to the other half that had the pillars using wood glue and a small G-clamp.

I took a plastic scarp and cut out the design that was in it and then screwed it to the vertical wood. It was screwed but I made sure not to totally screw in it, so as to get a rotation from the plastic both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

The next thing I did, I took the chopsticks and screwed them totally to the side of each pillars, I also cut out a plastic bottle into sections using a cutter knife and placing it on a cutting mat. Then I cut the sections, made them hyperbolic paraboloid and joined them to the chopsticks using copper wire that cut out from. I joined the copper wire to the chopsticks by using wiring as a method, which looked like a swing.

Then the other parts of the plastic bottle, I joined them using copper wire and a foam to create a vertical semicircle on a foam.

Nice! a good day in the workshop. Look forward to seeing the models in real life.
