3D Factory - Workshop Wednesday

Workshop Wednesday is a monthly creative workshop series in digital making open to all students, hosted by the 3D Factory.

  • Want to try digital making but don’t know where to start?
  • Interested in making things but on a course without a practical element?
  • Keen to experiment with different processes or try out new techniques?
  • Love to make things with others in a fun and supportive environment?

Workshop Wednesday is creative workshop series open to all students where you can try out new techniques and processes in digital making with others in a relaxed, fun environment - without the pressure of course deadlines.  We run these workshops once a month during term time on Wednesday afternoons on a sign-up basis, and no prior experience is required.
