Tactile Maps

Tactile Map
Tactile maps are an aid for people who are blind or partially sighted, helping them to orient themselves and to plan routes.
Note that this one “starts” with a little orange cone at the Admissions Office.
Perhaps it will be helpful for campus tours.

Écorché

Écorché

Professor Shakespear is teaching a really interesting course in the spring called Armature and Surface: The Body (VART 2603). You should take it!

In the first half of the semester students will sculpt a scale model as a study of the skeletal structure, muscles, and tendons comprising the human body – Écorché.

We are helping her out with a small version, to get things started…

And look how it turned out!

New Cameo Vinyl Cutter

Do you want to decorate that new laptop you got? (with something besides the requisite LLBean sticker we all have) Our on-campus expert @bisrael.18 gave us a lesson today on how to use the new Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter. First try came out great. Thank you for getting us going! Looking forward to some creative ideas coming from the community for this machine.

“Wood” Box

Print of a wood box using PLA that has wood fibers in it – so it looks pretty much like wood.  Lots of interesting materials are available these days!
