Explore the boundless potential of the brooch by learning Computer-Aided Modeling, 3D printing, laser cutting, and hydraulic press forming. Whether you are an experienced jeweler, an artist seeking to infuse tech into your craft, or simply curious about 3D printing, this workshop is the gateway to expanding your studio toolkit. Embrace an opportunity to experiment in an environment that celebrates an open, hybrid approach to making. We will employ 3D printing and computers within the metals studio and Haystack Fab Lab. While Haystack does have access to a limited number of computers, it is recommended that you have a laptop with Rhino 3D installed. Don't worry–Rhino offers a complimentary 30-day trial, so aim to install it just before the workshop commences. Prior familiarity with computers/CAD and basic skills in sawing, filing, and soldering are encouraged. All levels welcome.
