Character Creators: Design Your Own 3D Printed Figures
Bring your characters to life in 3D! Design and print your own action figures, creatures, and collectibles, whether inspired by anime, video games, comics, science fiction, or straight from your imagination.
Students learn techniques for building figures from the ground up: heads, bodies, dynamic poses, and the small details that make characters pop. Create heroes, villains, Gundams, monsters, robots, pets, or original mascots. Whatever sparks your creativity!
Along the way, you'll pick up skills like sculpting organic shapes, adding facial expressions and features, and designing characters that look ready for action. Each student works on their own character project to take home.
Perfect for creative students who love storytelling, drawing, or collecting figures. Beginners welcome!
When: Thursdays from 4:15pm to 5:45pm (04/09, 04/16, 4/23, 04/30, 05/07, 5/14, 05/21, 05/28)
