FORM COMPLEXITY IN A FEW SECONDS?

Lead by master Jeweller, silversmith and 3D print maker Silvia Weidenbach, this session explores technology as a way of developing ideas, speed and creativity. How much complexity can you give a form in a few seconds? -We look at real clay vs. virtual clay, exploring the limitations and challenges of the physical realm and finding ways to develop virtual processes to overcome them.

This session will include demonstrations of thehaptic arm, giving an overview of its use and integration with software to demonstratewhat is possible through digital sculpturing in the field of jewellery design.
