Tensions and Resolutions in Hybrid Basketry: Joining 3D Printing and Handweaving
Lea Albaugh, Jesse T. Gonzalez, Scott E. Hudson · 2024
By documenting and annotating one author's ongoing project combining 3D printing and handweaving to produce computational hybrid baskets, we contribute a framework for understanding hybrid craft. We identify three levels of material practice as observed in the basketry project—physical joinery between rigid printed-plastic parts and soft textiles, seamful multipart fabrication workflows, and aesthetics which negotiate between “basketlike” and “computational” forms—and analyze tensions and possible resolutions at each level.
