Linear Filament Design

Move past the craft aisle and step into the intersection of mathematics, layout, and structural design. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use straight lines of high-tensile filament across a rigid hardware matrix to generate complex geometric curves and industrial dimensional art.

We will break down the mechanics of precise coordinate mapping, anchor point calculations, and the physics of linear tension. You'll gain precision hand-tool experience as you map out custom paths and anchor fixed steel pins into a wood substrate to bring a technical design to life.

Key Takeaways:

• Precision Mapping: Calculating and transferring grid layouts accurately.
• Tension Mechanics: Maintaining consistent filament tension and structural integrity.
• Geometric Fabrication: The math behind using straight intersecting lines to create smooth curves.
