Art Shop is located in the 3D Annex, Rm 108

3D Print lab, Rm 108B

The Art Shop provides School of Art students and faculty with an extensive range of power tools, heavy duty industrial milling equipment, and digital fabrication processes for their artistic research. We also support the School of Art in designing and building furniture, storage, or display systems for studio classrooms and the Landmark Arts Gallery.

All students must be enrolled in an art course and complete the online Shop Safety training before working in the Art Shop or using the equipment. Intro courses such as 3D Design and Painting I engage students with learning shop best practices and using a variety of tools for class assignments. Email to schedule individual, 1:1 training or demos.

During daytime hours, the Lead Technician provides safety guidance, technical support, and class demonstrations throughout each semester. They also help maintain and supervise the shop, and are available for general advising on tool usage and project development. Extended evening hours with graduate student assistants are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters.
