Join us for a Tactile Design Workshop led by Taekyeom Lee in Gillespie Gallery of the Art and Design Building of GMU’s Fairfax Campus on Thursday, February 8, from 11am-1pm.

No experience is required, but you must bring a laptop to work with the 3D software. The software (https://www.tinkercad.com) will run on the web browser. Participants do not need to install anything.

Samples will be provided for inspiration.

Taekyeom Lee is one of 12 artists in Disrupt and Resist. In the exhibition, he presents several 3D printed embossers that visitors can use to print the English alphabet in Braille.

Taekyeom Lee is a multidisciplinary designer, educator, and maker. His research explores unconventional materials and alternative solutions to create tangible typography, graphics, and even designed objects using digital fabrication. He infused 3D printing into his research and has been experimenting with various methods and materials for tactile experiences. His latest project aims to make graphic design more accessible with tactility and materiality.
