I have been working with my neighbour to create a steel frame for my clay faces. After much deliberation on where to put the branches and what shape the frame should be, I came to the decision to just construct a basic frame with simple branches coming off the main tree so we have something to work on.
Now that i have this frame, i can decide where i will position each face and see if i need to edit any of the branch like framework in order to achieve the perfect design. Once i am happy with the positioning of the faces, I will be attaching them to the steel frame with isopon fastglas fibre kit.
My initial plan was to place the base in a concrete slab to hold the weight, but i’m now thinking the crossbar at the bottom will be enough. If it is not, i can then go back and add a concrete or plaster base.
