Handbook

This practical studio class introduces you to the technical and material processes of working creatively to produce an object or work of art by adding or aggregating materials. It introduces the techniques and technologies of three-dimensional printing, casting and mould making and their potential applications and possible implications for contemporary art and object making. The relevant Health and Safety issues will be addressed in order to develop a professional and  self-sustaining approach to studio practice. The course addresses modelling and construction techniques using a variety of materials and emphasises the historical and contemporary context of images made by the addition or aggregation of diverse materials. The Addition and Aggregation Atelier develops or builds on existing skills in students who wish to begin or continue working spatially. The course is taught in the studio through a system of lectures and practical studios and tutorials.
