Over 2 days the workshop at the IOU Studio, explored digital and analogue sculptural process combining hand stone carving techniques and the digital processes for 3D modeling, led by international stone sculptor Claudia Dietz and digital sculptor Sumit Sarkar

Each of the 11 enthusiastic  and creative participants had a chance to learn or develop their skills by using a combination of practical and digital methods to create work including

• Learning stone relief carving techniques
• Using technology to produce digital sculpture, navigate a 3D space and basic animation processes

Everyone had the  chance to complete a stone carved relief and a digital model of their creations, with a print of their 3D sculpture

One off community workshops 

IOU will continue to run community workshops in conjunction with current artistic projects and shows. All workshops are introductory and the sessions will be governed by the theme of the corresponding project.

Masterclasses

Our development programme is for individuals or groups from any discipline. It is designed to help realise emerging projects by providing whatever assistance is needed, whether that is studio space, technical staff time, workshop tools, advice from an arts professional or a combination of all.

The Future

Over the next five years, we will establish IOU studio as a creation centre for the North of England that facilitates the making of innovative art projects and supports a new generation of artists with engineering, construction and invention at its core.
