Intro to Creative Coding
Get started in creative coding with a hands-on, no-experience-necessary workshop! Led by Charlie Hooper-Williams, one of the software developers behind Shazam, this session introduces you to the exciting world of TouchDesigner, a tool for making live visuals without using code. You’ll create simple, visual, and interactive scenes right away, using the same free software Charlie uses for his stunning live visuals. Learn how to make things spin, glow, warp, and sparkle as you explore the fundamentals of rendering, lighting, textures, and more. Perfect for anyone with basic computer skills like typing and using a mouse or trackpad, no prior coding experience needed.
Dates:
Thursday 10 & 17 September at 1.30 – 3pm
or
Saturday 26 September at 1.30 – 3pm

All Together Now
With Bristol Beacon
Artists from Bristol Beacon’s All Together Now project are coming to Old Printworks Arts on Wednesday 9 September between 12 – 2pm to do one to one creative sessions – these are to explore what projects could be grown to target social isolation in the area. The team are looking to connect with people who have experienced social isolation, and / or have seen the impact on family members as well as other creative people across the region. There is a funding call coming out connected to this work in September, so if you are interested in this kind of work, we highly encourage popping in!
Contact us if you have any questions.
