On 28 October at 7 p.m. (Tallinn time), the next session of the Art meets Tech programme will take place, focusing on craftsmanship, furniture design and new technologies.

In this workshop, Gareth Neal will not only present his work, but also demonstrate how traditional craftsmanship and new technologies such as 3D printing can merge and interact in symbiosis to develop new works of art and furniture.

Participants will learn about the importance of traditional craftsmanship, how it has evolved and why it is important to incorporate new contemporary technological developments and digital tools.
Using his own artistic development as an example, Gareth will illustrate the interplay between proven craft techniques and 3D printing, digital working methods and 3D computer drawings.

The artist will critically question ideas about what is and is not ‘permissible’ in craftsmanship and encourage the audience to engage with innovative technologies that can be used, for example, to shape and fuse natural materials into timeless furniture and works of art.

The workshop is aimed at artists who specialise in craftsmanship, as well as designers, interior designers and anyone interested in 3D printing.
The series Art Meets Tech explores visual arts, music, narratives, and crafts and highlights technologies such as AI, Web3, immersive technologies, and digital manufacturing, and creative coding.With predominantly online workshops and hybrid formats, the programme offers practical experience, critical discussions and networking within a diverse European community. It invites you to discover how technology is reshaping art and how art is redefining technology - a dynamicplatform to exchangeideas and skills.
