Artisan’s Asylum Speaker Series Presents Make and Take: The Challenge of 3D Printing 2,017 Roosters in a Yearlong Installation on the Rose Kennedy Greenway

Join us for the next installment of the Artisan's Asylum Speaker Series. The Artisan's Asylum Speaker Series seeks to engage our community and inspire us to make the world we want to see.

All events are free for members and Friends of Artisan's and a $10 suggested donation from the public. If you are interested in being a speaker, email [email protected].

Chris Templeman, a long time member of Artisan's Asylum, will provide a behind-the-scenes look at his public art project “Make and Take”. This piece, to be installed in Chinatown Plaza on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, will celebrate the upcoming Year of the Rooster by 3D printing and giving away 2,017 rooster figurines over the course of the year. He will discuss the challenges of actualizing this public 3D printer, including: automation techniques, 3D printing in the harsh New England climate, and 3D scanning an artifact from the Museum of Fine Arts. He will also discuss collaborating with fellow Artisan’s Asylum members “New American Public Art”, and of the democratization of 3D printing which has motivated this entire project.
