Overview
The aim of this course is to introduce you to the exciting and limitless possibilities of a modern 3D workshop. You can explore processes including laser etching and cutting, digital vinyl cutting, sand blasting and colour heat transfer, whilst working with a variety of materials including wood, metal, plastic, resins and jesmonite. You will be encouraged to explore hi-tech and low tech processes to create an array of one off decorative items for your home such as clocks, mirrors, coasters and more.
Basic materials are supplied to get you started. You will be advised accordingly of any additional materials required depending on what you would personally like to achieve.

About the Tutor
Working as a self-employed Artist Blacksmith for over 12 years from his forge in Herefordshire, Ian worked to private and public commission. Ian has wide experience creating decorative metalwork for galleries, large scale public sculptures, garden pieces, community artworks as well as running workshops for school children and mentoring students.
Referring to himself as a “Jack of all trades, master of some”, Ian also worked as a photographer, Film Projectionist and Gallery Technician for The Courtyard Centre for the Arts in Hereford for many years. As a photographer, Ian was involved with the digitising museum collections and in 2009 was chosen to photograph a prestigious collection of Australian aboriginal artifacts at National Museums Liverpool.
Ian has worked at Hereford College of Arts as a technical demonstrator in the Small metals and 3D workshops since 2008. It is here that Ian has developed a new set of skills to pass on to our students particularly in low-tech photo acid etching, small-scale forging, wood turning and now laser cutting and etching.
