My Experience in the Digital Making Workshop as a Kingston Fashion Student
One of my favourite things about being a student at Kingston School of Art is the Open Access Workshops that I get to utilise🤭.
It is seldom you ever find a fashion student in the 3D making workshops but it being my final year in Kingston, I really wanted to make full use of the Digital Making Facilities.
The digital making facilities at Kingston include methods like laser cutting, 3D printing, resin printing and engraving. I really wanted to use laser cutting and engraving techniques in my work and have started creating some test samples on different fabrics. I hope to make some bags, small accessories and little buttons on the laser cutting and engraving machines 😙.
The process is pretty simple, all I have to do is complete my induction and book a consultation with the technicians. The most fun part of the process is experimenting with different materials and seeing the results 🤩! That said, it is a long process and it is important to source the right materials and adjust my file accordingly to ensure the best results! The services are pretty affordable and are charged for £2.50 for 30mins on the machine.
What would you do if you have access to the digital making workshops?

My name is Zhi En from Kingston University! I am an international third year student at Kingston’s Fashion design course and have just come back from an amazing placement year in industry. My time as a student has been incredible, learning new skills, developing my voice and making new friends along the way. Feel free to ask me any questions about the course, placement year or life in Kingston in general 🤗.
