SPACIAL EXPLORATION OF ENGRAVING
From drawing to matrix by 3D printing
Instructor: Claire Brunet
Friday, June 14, 10 am to 5 pm
Tuesday, June 18, 10 am to 5 pm
Friday, June 21, 10 am to 5 pm
Price : 220$ member/ 260$ non-member
18 hours workshop
Maximum 8 participants
REGISTRATION
Course description
Participants will become familiar with the concept of 2D image vectorization and its transposition into the digital space of 3D software, its interface, navigation and basic functions. Each participant will use 2D creation tools as a starting point to generate relief shapes, which will then be translated into a matrix for engraving via 3D printing. Participants will be introduced to the basic functions of the software enabling them to transpose an image into a 3D print of a plate or typeface for printing works on paper.
Course objectives and content
-
Introduction to the 3D software interface and navigation tools
-
Exploration of the different types of vector image creation, modeling and transfer
-
Understanding digital 3D geometry
-
Understanding basic principles and saving file formats for 3D printing
-
Plate or 3D print the prototype using the 3D printer
About the instructor
Claire Brunet, graduate from Concordia University (PhD) and a professional sculptor,
centers her artistic practice on the complex interplay between humans and their environment.
Her research delves into the transformative impact of 3D digital technologies on the artist’s
relationship with space and object interaction, as well as on the creative process itself. Brunet’s
works, known for engaging with temporal elements, challenge and reveal the conflicting values
inherent in our fast-evolving, hypermodern society. Her unique blend of digital methodologies
with traditional sculptural techniques facilitates critical dialogues about the interconnectedness
of living beings and their environments.
