Funded by the Arts Council, Making it Digital is part of Hidden Art’s wider Innovative Routes to Market programme, designed to address the difficulties designer-makers face to develop and get a new product to market. The project recognises that many designer-makers are locked out of the innovation revolution and are not accessing the available technologies, such as digital manufacturing, new materials and production processes.
In order to address these issues, Making it Digital enabled 11 designer-makers from London and Cornwall to work with Autonomatic, University College Falmouth’s 3D Digital Production Research Cluster, in order to explore the potential of digital technologies in their practice and access the digital equipment at the college.
Participants worked individually or as part of collaborative partnerships. Their innovative new ranges of furniture, jewellery and interior products will be showcased in London and Cornwall during December 2008.
