From now until the end of term, we will be trialing out these sessions to gauge interest and develop content for further workshops in the new year.
- 23rd November - Printmaking - Explore how, through the use of Vector and Raster graphics can create engravings onto sheet media, or create the stamps / presses for further use in the printmaking studio. In this session you will be shown file creation and setup, and the types of typical outcomes that can be expected.
- 30th November - Metal Embossing - Emboss onto sheet metal through the use of laser engraving and traditional metalworking techniques and processes. Engrave complicated and geometric shapes and transfer them onto a range of sheet metals.
- 7th December - Digital Terrain Modeling - A lot of traffic comes through to this page of the blog, so lets make some more content for future visitors! A selection of methods to create accurate or somewhat exaggerated landscape models, followed by a range of processes to realise these phisically in a range of materials, from laser cut card to milled foams and composites.
- 14th December - Closing off the year with a session in pewter casting! Learn how to make a mould using the laser cutter and create stunning metal casts in minutes. Used previously for coins, medals, jewellery and architectural representation.
Spaces will be limited and will be a first come - first served approach. Sessions will start from 12:40 to 13:20 in the ground floor digital machine room! I look forward to seeing you there as it should comprise of an interesting few weeks!
