Analogue 3D Printing: A hands-on workshop
Time: Tuesday April 30, 2024, 14:00-15:00
Place: Senate House MakerSpace, room 265, South block, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU
Organisers: Gabriel Bodard (ICS/DHRH), Emlyn Dodd (ICS), Rosario Rovira Guardiola (ICS/HARL)
We are holding this hands-on discussion/making/thinking session to explore the potentials of older models of making alongside the digital modes of creation enabled by 3D printers, VR headsets and high-powered computers in the Senate House MakerSpace. Come prepared to get your hands dirty with air-drying clay, be creative, play and experiment, as we think with our hands about design and implementation processes across mediums.
How do different materials and techniques, such as 3D printing and pottery, change the way we think about bespoke modelling and creation, and what possibilities or limitations are enabled by different methods? Can playful modelling be of value for experimental archaeology, e.g. through the reconstruction of experimental objects we can use in ways not possible with original artefacts? Can we “think with our hands” about methods, practices, context or processes in ways that complement our current source material, fragmentary remains and understanding?
All welcomeThis event is free to attend, but booking is required.
