Workshops

Tim Bolton

Vice Principal Academic, Plymouth College of Art (PCA)

Traditional Crafts and New Technologies Plymouth College of Art is committed to maintaining traditional craft making skills alongside the innovative use of new technologies.

Recently the College has invested £8million in state of the art workshops for textiles, metals, wood, ceramics and glass. As part of this development the College also created one of the first FabLabs in the UK, providing opportunities for students and businesses to use a wide range of new digital manufacturing processes.

Interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary practice together with the mix of traditional and new technologies to support design and make has created a unique creative learning environment. The challenge is to ensure students are able to develop as much confidence and agency in all elements of the making journey, able to subvert and invent processes, as much as develop new products.

Shantanu Kwatra

Co Founder at 3Dexter

Shantanu has done his Btech in IT (information technology). He wants to make a difference in the current education sector by integrating technology with the existing classroom learning experience to enhance real time learning. He has a vision of an educated world rather than a learned one where people understand the true nature of knowledge. He has worked with various social, non profit organizations to understand the current education scenario and on the other side has had the corporate experience of running a company and what it takes to build one. He has always keen to learn and understand new innovations to create a better world.

3D Printing is a process of creating solid physical objects from solid, physical models from CAD designs. The students will be introduced to different aspects of 3D Printing mainly the Computer Aided Design, Slicing, 3D Printing of objects and hands on experience on different kind of technologies that are used in 3D Printing that are the 3D Scanner and 3D pens.
