The workshop includes a hands-on experience with 3D printing. Students will learn how a 3D printer works and to create their very own 3D print. The main activity will be to explore materials and colours to influence the outcome of a 3D printed lithophane. 

3D printed lithophanes work in response to light exposure. When light is placed behind the print, the different thicknesses of material influence the 3D print’s transparency. For example, the colour black would be thicker than the colour white which would be very thin. Students will then select their favourite design and send it to Jamie-Lee to 3D print where it will then be posted directly to them. No previous knowledge of 3D printing is required!
