Designing for Change: Creative Digital Fabricating for Sustainability

Practical info

On 23rd we organize two workshops:

10:00 - 12:00; max 10 participants
13:00 - 15:00; max 10 participants

Pre-registration is required to attend the workshops, unless there are remaining spots available.

Ideal but not obligatory:

Participants are kindly encouraged to bring their laptops and install Inkscape in advance: https://inkscape.org
To facilitate easier design work in the software, we also recommend bringing a mouse, as it significantly improves usability.

During the workshop, we’ll be using a CAD/CAM process—starting with digital design in Inkscape and then moving on to fabrication using machines. The available equipment includes a laser cutter, a vinyl cutter, and a heat press machine, which will allow participants to bring their designs to life through various materials and techniques.

To participate:

Please register by sending an email to behnaz.norouzi@oulu.fi
In your message, kindly indicate:
Which workshop you would like to attend: workshop 1 (10:00 - 12:00) or workshop 2 ( 13:00 - 15:00).
Whether you will bring your laptop with you!

Each workshop is limited to 10 participants, and spots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis—so we recommend registering early!

The deadline for registration: 22nd September 2025, at 13:00.

If you are unable to attend after registering, we kindly ask you to cancel your registration well-in advance by sending an email to behnaz.norouzi@oulu.fi, so your spot can be offered to someone else.
