101 - 3D Printing: Keepsakes and Talismans

Learn how to design a small talisman or keepsake that holds personal meaning. Be guided through the 3D modelling and printing process and discover how personal meaning can be translated into form. Take away your very only Dearly Departed inspired object. This workshop is a great extension of the 3D printer induction, as you will learn more about the design and printing process.

This event runs in conjunction with , State Library's exhibition that explores mortality through history, art and personal stories. Attendees are encouraged to explore the exhibition to engage more deeply with its themes and artworks.

You’re welcome to participate at your own pace and to step away or take a break at any time.
