wolfCat workshopThese are the assembly instructions for a kinetic toy I designed. It's laser cut out of 1/8" MDF and 92lb drawing paper.
It's a simple holder for different disks that let you play with Moiré patterns by varying the angle or stacking different patterns together. The interference between the disks create a mesmerizing look and motion.
This project was possible thanks to all the folks that choose to support my work on Patreon.
All my Patrons get access to the files, so if you want to get the files and cut your own kit you can support me starting at $2! patreon.com/wolfcatworkshop

#lasercutting #animation #moire #moirePattern #laserFilesMind Shrines Zine - Collaboration with Theo EllsworthwolfCat workshop2023-08-21 | The drawings on this zine were done on paper over several years. We would mail each other the sheet's of paper and each one of us would keep it for a few months at the time. We would add drawings to the pages and respond to each other's drawings, and in this way each page was collaboratively drawn.
It was really great to enter this imaginary space of Mind Shrines and add to it slowly over some time.
It has a total of 30 black and white pages and the covers are done in color.
