This evening course is designed for artists who want to explore the basics of 3D modeling using Fusion 360—a cloud-based tool widely used in design, engineering, and digital fabrication. You don’t need any prior experience with the software: we’ll start from scratch and walk through the essential tools and workflows. The focus will be on how artists can use 3D modeling to develop their ideas, communicate clearly with fabricators, and create models of their works for production or presentation. Whether you’re interested in prototyping, sculptural design, or simply expanding your digital toolbox, this class will give you a practical introduction tailored to creative practice.

Requirements for Participation:
Participants should have basic computer skills. You must bring your own laptop with Fusion 360 already installed. This requires creating a free Autodesk account and having an internet connection during the class. Students and educators may be eligible for a free educational license—check Autodesk’s website for details. Otherwise there is a free Hobby licence.
Participation fee is NOK 300,- which will be invoiced after the workshop.

Patrícia Šichmanová is a multidisciplinary artist and designer with a background in material-based sculpture and digital fabrication. Drawing inspiration from natural phenomena and growth patterns, she combines traditional techniques with modern technologies like 3D modeling, CNC, and 3D printing. Patrícia has exhibited her work internationally and is passionate about making digital tools accessible for creative practices.

FMV Book Club: 'Under the Udala Trees' by Chinelo Okparanta 

Date: 30.06.2025
Time: 18:00-21:00
Host: Female Minority Voices



> Facebook event

Welcome to June’s FMV Book Club meeting, celebrating Pride Month!

June's Book Pick: Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta.

About the book:
Inspired by Nigeria's folktales and its war, Under the Udala Trees is a deeply searching, powerful debut about the dangers of living and loving openly.

Ijeoma comes of age as her nation does; born before independence, she is eleven when civil war breaks out in the young republic of Nigeria. Sent away to safety, she meets another displaced child and they, star-crossed, fall in love. They are from different ethnic communities. They are also both girls.

When their love is discovered, Ijeoma learns that she will have to hide this part of herself. But there is a cost to living inside a lie.

As Edwidge Danticat has made personal the legacy of Haiti's political coming of age, Okparanta's Under the Udala Trees uses one woman's lifetime to examine the ways in which Nigerians continue to struggle toward selfhood. Even as their nation contends with and recovers from the effects of war and division, Nigerian lives are also wrecked and lost from taboo and prejudice. This story offers a glimmer of hope — a future where a woman might just be able to shape her life around truth and love.
