About this event
This one day workshop facilitated by Catherine Devitt will demonstrate the design requirements for 3D Printing or Laser Cutting to create suitable forms that can be used with a desktop vacuum former. Participants will be able to create a simple laser cut design which will be vacuum formed into a plastic mold.
Catherine will then demonstrate how to use Jesmonite as a casting material to create small household items. Participants will be able to mix and cast their own Jesmonite product to take home with them.
Other uses of vacuum forming for creating custom designs for candles, soaps, beauty products, and food products will also be discussed.
The workshop is aimed at craft designers and artists who want to expand their knowledge and use of fabrication technology to expand and augment their creative practices.
