University of Virginia
Dear Colleague,

The University of Virginia School of Architecture is hosting the following upcoming events that may be of interest to your students.

Design + Make: The Art of the Spoon

Monday, October 8, 2018

You are invited to engage a concept-to-production workflow utilizing both digital and hand making tools. Armed with these skills, we’ll craft novel, functional, and beautiful hand held objects.

To kick off the workshop, each student will be assigned a ‘character’ to translate into a design iteration of a spoon. At the School of Architecture FabLab, students will receive safety training for both digital fabrication and hand-crafting processes. Participants will sketch and iterate their designs, translate outputs digitally to a CNC cut file, and ultimately refine their creations with shop equipment and hand sanding.

The goal of this workshop is to arm you with the knowledge and confidence to continue your academic careers as makers.

No previous design, software, or fabrication skills are necessary. We hope you’ll join us for this unique and fun opportunity to try out the design and prototyping process first-hand!
