During previous visits to the Bridewell Museum Norwich I had become aware of an exhibition of a piece of machinery that created wire fencing, I thought this may relate to my knitting project as I intended to use wire ( however this did not quite go as planned- see material sampling) to create interesting surfaces.
I found the history of the machinery and its workforce very interesting, this led me on to look at other items manufactured by the same makers.
I would be very to take rubbings from these cast iron objects, I have started to notice a pattern in objects I find interesting it seems to be the textured surface design, this is something I would like to explore in the 3rd year.
