This workshop delves into the potential of simple digital tools to create intricate sculptural compositions. Students learn basic to intermediate skills in Adobe Illustrator to design a collection of 2D parts that are translated into 3D sculptural forms using composite wood, hand processes, and the laser cutter. Through dialogue, open-source learning, and sharing, participants expand their own sculptural voices within a community of creative makers by combining forms of play and collaboration in the creative process. Deriving forms from various sources, workshop participants bridge traditional craft approaches with digital technology to create their own lively, visually engaging compositions.
