I was introduced to a nice techniques today in order to dye plastics. As acrylic comes in an array of colours i didn't think of dying it? It could also be interesting to layer tape over the material to create interesting shapes and also allow it to be dyed using multiple colours.
In today's student led session we were given the opportunity to experiment with finishes on different types of wood. despite having previous knowledge of the types of finishing techniques I had not put this into practice.
Notable things from the session;
When looking at finishing off technique I just though about things like polishing and sanding to make edges smooth but there are other finishing off techniques I hadn't event considered which are used not just to improve the look of product but to also protect it.
I paid much more attention to Finishing techniques in my Bee project see link below; Finishing techniques??..... What I can remember from school?
