Burning Imaginations

Overview

The Sculpture workshop, Center for General Studies, Dept. of Art, Aalto ARTS together with the Foundry, Mechanical Engineering, Aalto ENG, is developing a series of online tutorial videos combined with photo-image based teaching material, for the use of current and future students. This material acts as both online study material for existing students, and advertising “taster” material for prospective students, as well as effective advertising promotion for the university towards exchange students and international partners.

Aalto ENG foundry laboratory facilities offer excellent possibilities for casting metal alloys for small to medium scale projects. The Väre workshop have facilities for modelling, mold making, and preparation of work before proceeding to the foundry. The future aim is to develop interdisciplinary courses for students from across the university, as well as offering professional courses and services for people outside of Aalto University, such as professional artists, local museums and businesses.
