Abstract
Handicrafts are productions that transfer the cultures of societies to future generations and emerged in line with the needs of people, requiring mastery and skill. The impacted weavings in handicrafts can be used in many areas from carrying a baby to tying things. With its raw material and richness in technique, it has reached its existence until today. Among hand weavings, occasionally square and rectangular shaped tools, and sometimes impacted weavings woven with floor mechanisms are tried to be interpreted with new patterns and materials, while preserving their technique.
Jewelery is our handicraft, where the models drawn in line with the ideas of its designer, using various materials and techniques. Weaving, weaving and basket weaving techniques are generally applied using plate and wire to create light, flexible and complex pieces in jewelery. The wires, which are the element of jewelery production, seem as opposed to each other as hot and cold with the threads that make up the weavings. Although their hardness is very different, they have similar properties within themselves.
The aim of this study is; Inspired by the knitting techniques used in jewelery, the applicability of the impactor weaving, which is one of our traditional handicrafts in an interdisciplinary context, with jewelery techniques is to create new designs by using experimental methods. In the light of the information obtained through the scanning method of the literature, experimental studies were applied in the workshop and the jewelry was designed using the impacted weaving technique. As the raw material, the unique silver was melted, rolled and cut into equal lengths by turning it into wire, and then weaving in different patterns with the impacted weaving cards. In order to obtain different colors, pure silver and copper, which are bleached and darkened by oxidation, are used together.
