Anne is an established contemporary jeweller and lecturer at Belfast School of Art. She labelled herself a technological illiterate who has bought into our Anarkik3DDesign 3D modelling programme and generously shares her progress and work with us.
Anne had new work in the HandmadebyDesign exhibition in the Birmingham School of Jewellery (18 November – 6 December 2019) and gave a presentation at the accompanying symposium (20 November 2019). She talked about how and why she uses 3D digital technologies (Anarkik3DDesign 3D modelling programme and 3D printing) with her handmaking skills to design and construct her work.
‘Using Anarkik3DDesign has added a different layer of drawing and making to my practice. It proved to be a very direct and instinctive programme that was as close to my paper-based drawing process as computer drawing could allow. The speed with which I was able to engage with its haptic nature allowed an unexpected ‘flow’ of ideas that came surprisingly close to experimental studio work. I can now say that Anarkik3DDesign is established as part of my practice!’ (AEB, March 2019)
Anne purchased her kit in January 2018, having participated in the Craft Council UK’s national Make:Shift:Do event we held in Edinburgh.
