2020 Summer Program

A week of model making will utilize the power and precision of our laser cutter. Participants will explore pattern and repetition by designing a unique napery (paper doily.) Building on skills throughout the week participants will design edge-lit Plexiglas LED lamps, folded paper polyhedra mobiles, and an architectural model. A look at the studios of Buckminster Fuller,

Participants must have a Mac or PC with Rhino 6 installed. A 90 day free trial is available at https://www.rhino3d.com/download
