Material rave 01 - Acrylic



I love acrylic. From day dot I have used this material. Its transmits, bends, reflects, colours the light, and so much more.
It comes in many thicknesses, colours, textures...and on and on.
It can be cut, bent, formed, routed, sanded, flamed, polished, heated. I've got to say it is without a doubt the most versatile and useful material I have worked with as a lighting designer.
My workspace is full of the stuff - i can't throw it away...i hang onto those offcuts, hoping that I will one day use them. sometimes I do.
The majority of my work involves acrylic in some form.
It's virtually unbreakable.
