The thread winding samples explore an idea for a piece that requires its owner to learn a new technique. These samples were made using a standard sewing machine. The pieces would be made using a specially adapted machine, and would take time and practice in order to become skilled in their production. The owner would be given a machine, a large quantity of blank pieces (wearable) and a selection of threads. The blank pieces, onto which the thread is wound, might be made of a variety of materials, both precious and non-precious. This piece is essentially a toolkit, meaning that the owner has enormous influence over the finished works. It is about developing a new (and unique) making-process, together with the production of a new piece of jewellery.
