This intensive Masterclass is geared to the requirements of jewellers, designer makers, applied artists and creative people who want to expand their business by taking advantage of 3D digital designing and 3D printing opportunities but find standard Computer Aided Design (CAD) programmes very intimidating.
It is a 2 day intensive Masterclass for applied artists and creative people, focussing on what digital technologies can offer.
It is is geared to the requirements of designer makers, applied artists and creative people who want to expand their business by taking advantage of 3D digital designing and 3D printing opportunities but find standard Computer Aided Design (CAD) programmes very intimidating.
The Masterclass will use the ‘Anarkik 3D Design’ package designed and developed specifically for designer makers and applied artists who need a straightforward 3D modelling system that is easy and enjoyable to use, combining the hand-crafted with digital technologies.
It is an intensive course with hands-on learning and creating guided by demonstrations of digital functionality and handling 3D printed items. Practical information on how and where to access the technology will be provided along with individual attention for progressing on to the next stage.
