A commission completed in partnership with RWCMD to make a silicone mould of a 3d printed katana and sheath, then cast and finish each to a high degree of realism.

Carnwennan Dagger Project

This was a specialist project completed while undergoing my MA at RWCMD, focused on learning how to 3d design in Fusion360 and 3d print prototypes, learning casting and mould-making, and working with steel. It was a six-week project beginning with concept designs and ending in a final make which would include a steel-bladed hero prop, a costume prop, and 3d renderings.
