SKILL LEVEL: Open to all

SKILL LEVEL: Open to all

CONCEPT:  The future of 3-D printing is more
than just making plastic trinkets. In this workshop, we push beyond the material, speed and
size limitations of the MakerBot by using it as
a device to print molds rather than finished
objects. We learn how to design for and cast
with a variety of different materials with the
intention of bringing them into the physical
world through mold making. We also examine
the basics of constructing forms in Rhino.

CONCEPT: 3-D printers are all the rage. Link the
“modern” with the tradition of slip casting in
this exciting new class focused on making
plaster molds via 3-D printers. Working with
our stock files and your basic designs built in
Rhino patterns, the molds to make the molds
are designed and printed digitally. The focus of
this workshop is the mold, but Paul covers how
to manipulate castings and surface designs as
well as the power of the narrative in his collage
style of work.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Variety of software
to create digital objects, open source digital
files and object scanning, both single-piece
and multiple-piece molds for casting plaster,
silicone, urethane, sugru, clay, cement, paper
pulp and wax-sugru; clay, cement, paper pulp
and wax.
ACTIVITIES:  Demonstrations of basic and
advanced techniques for digital and physical
fabrication.
FACULTY:  Andy Brayman lives and works in
Kansas City, Mo. He received his M.F.A. from
Alfred University. He is an artist, designer and
inventor working with new technologies while
employing a critical eye and capable hands. In
2005, Andy founded the Matter Factory.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Rhino design software,
plaster molds made directly from the MakerBot patterns, slip clay, drawing and painting on
bisqueware forms.
ACTIVITIES:  Basic design in Rhino software,
making plaster molds from plastic patterns,
pouring slip, manipulating cast forms, bisque
firing, finish decorating and narrative building.
FACULTY:  Paul McMullan received his M.F.A.
from Alfred University. He has presented
his slip-cast and image-packed sculptures in
numerous solo and group exhibitions across
the U.S. and Europe. Recent shows include
“Hanging by a Thread” at Galleri Se Konst in
Falun, Sweden.

SKILL LEVEL: Open to all, familiarity with computer
graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop is
recommended. Knowledge and interest in sculpture and new media art is also beneficial.
CONCEPT:  3-D modeling and 3-D printing are
emerging techniques providing artists with a powerful set of tools for a myriad of artistic implementations—from small-scale 3-D printed sculptures
to more conceptual aspects of a wider artistic
practice. This course introduces us to the basic
concepts and workflows of creating virtual form
