Summer Studio 2026
This August we are hosting Summer Studios! An extended class with groups of 1-5 students working on a joint diorama project. The day is organised so that by the end, everyone will have created 1 or 2 assets around the same theme to be put into a collaborative diorama. This diorama will then be 3D printed and so everyone involved gets their own real life version of the project. Everyone participating in this will also achieve a CREST Discover Award!








Example Student Dioramas
How the day is structured:
11:30: Introduction to the project + brainstorming for the diorama
12:00: Foundational modelling skills 101
13:00: Lunchtime
13:45: Creating assets
15:30: Putting everyone's assets together into the scene
16:00: Finished project!
