Come join Paul Jackson for a full day exploring and improving your ability to think and design more fluently in the third dimension, using the medium of paper. Over his years of teaching, one of the things he recognised was the struggle artists and designers have to think truly in the third dimension. As a result, he has developed a series of simple exercises in folded paper, that will push your experience and develop your design thinking.
This course is suitable for any designers, makers or educators in design/art/math/STE(A)M. It is aimed to stimulate your understanding of the third dimension and to push you in your design ideas.
His new book ‘Thinking and Designing in the Third Dimension’ will be released in Oct 2024.
