Digital Carving in Wood
Session Three: June 16-28
Matthew Hebert
Digital Carving in Wood
This workshop will introduce the exciting potential of carving and shaping wood using a CNC router. We will start with the basics of 3D modeling and quickly develop designs for small sculptures or vessels that will be carved from wooden blanks. We will work with Rhino software and Penland’s Shopbot. After the CNC process is done, there will be time to explore finishes such as painting, patina, burning, etc. Demonstrations and discussions will cover contemporary techniques of digital design and manufacture ranging from surface modeling to photogrammetry (creating 3D meshes through photography). These processes can be useful for a range of materials and studio practices. All levels.
