In these family-friendly 1-hour sessions (for ages 5+), we will be designing Walthamstow-inspired objects and making sculptures using colourful plasticine. Learn about 3D scanning by creating a digital model of your plasticine sculpture and discover how to 3D scan things yourself using your phone. We will use 3D modelling software to place your creations on a virtual map of Walthamstow, contributing to growing collaborative artwork that will evolve over the course of the week. This will exist as a webpage where everyone’s creations can be viewed in an online 3D environment.
