Starting thinking about the final project is influencing somehow the focus on these weeks. I am right now mostly focused on a workshop that I am giving at 19M in Paris, that is a place that Chanel opened this year. For that I made a loom few weeks ago and I am still improving it, so it is part of my research of the week.

So I had a look at the work of She Makes, where there are few looms available, because there is a part that I wanted to make that I didn’t manage to do because it had to be a 3D piece and I wanted to cut it laser cutting. It is still in process because I don’t know if it works yet. It is a “separateur de fils”, I have the version in 3D and I want to try to print it as well.

I arrived a day late during the week because I was giving the workshop in Paris but I managed to arrive to work in group with Camille and Tess on the “automatized loom”.
Last year, a group at Textile Lab made a loom and we wanted to modify it to see how it could be automatized.
Tess and Camille worked on remaking new pieces of the loom such as the “lisses” and the “peignes”. We followed a tutorial on this webpage:
Camille made demos of the different positions the loom could have on Rhino. The peignes were laser cutted first in plexiglass but it was too hard to split the pieces because they were not detached enough. This is because if it cuts more it is too hot and the plexi starts to move and deforms. So we decided to do it in wood of 5mm.
