Discuss and explore a range of 3D art processes and methods in this friendly, hands-on course. We will work practically and experimentally with processes, materials and techniques, exploring different forms, possibilities and materials for art in 3-dimensions. You will have the opportunity to discuss and select practical projects collaboratively with your group, which may include clay modelling, wire forming, plaster carving, casting and constructing with metal and wood. We will also consider non-traditional materials including tape, fabrics and recyclables. We will discuss a range of creative practitioners using 3D processes in interesting and inspiring ways. You will be invited to implement your learning from group, technique-based projects to plan, test ideas and implement appropriate processes to complete an independent, 3D art object.

- This course is for beginners and improvers
By the end of the course I should be able to:
- Identify and demonstrate the safe and creative use of at least 3 different tools for 3D art
- Explain at least 3 different 3D art processes including carving, casting, constructing and modelling
- Complete at least one 3D art item which uses an armature
- Practically create items both in relief and fully in the round
- Identify and select appropriate tools, materials and techniques for an independent 3D art project, considering the possibilities and limitations of available options
What else do I need to know?
- Apron / clothing for messy work - Selected materials and tools will be available but stocks are limited & you are welcome to bring additional items with you. - You may also wish to bring a box in which to keep your work & transport it to and from the centre
