I’ve written before about the digital screen print workshop that I did with Creative Heartlands, I loved it and you can read about it here. I’m delighted to see some new workshops and classes taking place and I’ve already signed up for one already. It’s great to learn from experts and pick up hints and tips from them and also from the other participants. The new workshops are now listed, so if you’ve fancied learning something new, or adding a new dimension to your creative practice, check them out.
I’ll do a quick run down for you – but the full details are here:
3D Printing with Clay. Monday 19th September in Sligo. This sounds great, think of the movie Ghost but with a machine! Participants will get to see the 3D Ceramic Printing process and get to experiment with using simple 3D CAD software to create their own designs to 3D print in clay to keep. I can’t begin to fathom how this will work, but it sounds great! https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/3d-ceramic-printing-workshop-tickets-406241508287
Culture Night goes Creative in Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim. Friday 23rd September. There’s a great free event in conjunction with Leitrim Local Enterprise Office which will feature talks and demos by Creative Heartlands based designers showing how using creative technology has enhanced and expanded their businesses. There are two sessions 12 noon and 2pm. These events are great for networking too.
