CAMPUS EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS

Thank you to all the faculty who attended the 3D Ceramic Printing Faculty Workshop sessions January 21 and 23-24, led by Visiting Assistant Professor Nicolas Touron. This workshop provided an introduction to the many possibilities of 3D clay printing utilizing the LUTUM® v4.6 printer in Pratt Fine Arts' ceramics area. Participants designed shapes using Fusion 360 software and explored the creative capabilities of the printer for producing sculptures or functional objects.


Many thanks to the SoART Dean's Office for supporting this workshop and to all involved in making it happen!
