design brief

Your task is to produce a range of designs for a mosquito coil holder to become a 'product' rather than just a functional piece of metal. We would like you to use a Thai hardwood timber and combine this with creatively coloured resin that you mix, create, pour, cut and file to shape. We would also like you to cut and shape the combined timber and resin 'block' to make the design into something creative and interesting to look at. As a 'by product' when you cut out the middle section of your work you can then use this to 'encase' a brass split pin into it and use this by product piece horizontally as a second mosquito coil holder product
