The concept of flow originates from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's research and is essential for creativity, for focus and innovation.

Just love the idea of slow design!

Ann Marie Shillito — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:29:48 +0000

Slow design is an approach that embodies the mind-set that recognises and prefers simplicity and applicability. This makes space to embrace non-complexity over excess. It allows for ‘flow’ and for serendipity to happen, both important for creativity and innovation.

A 3D Digital Technology Journey: supporting a designer/maker’s more environmentally responsible practice. Part 1.

Ann Marie Shillito — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 16:01:19 +0000

The people for whom I am writing this post believe in their expertise, integrity and autonomy as designer makers and applied artists, people who are open to learning new skills and open to the benefits of 3D digital technology: for enhancing their practice, helping make it more sustainable in the longer term – because they are concerned about the impact that climate breakdown is having globally. Hence this post on A 3D Digital Technology Journey: supporting a designer/maker’s more environmentally responsible practice. I am Ann Marie Shillito, a designer maker and jeweller, also co-founder and CEO of Anarkik3D Ltd. I have always been eco conscious.

12 years of Anarkik3DDesign:

Ann Marie Shillito — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 01:52:46 +0000

Wow! 12 years of Anarkik3DDesign and 3D haptic modelling In a series of over 20 banners we have summed up 12 years of Anarkik3DDesign, starting in 2010 and going through to 2022. Warm thanks go to our generous fellow AnarkikCreators for their permission to use images of their work to both demonstrate the amazing range of forms and objects that are possible with our Anarkik3DDesign haptic 3D modelling programme and promote what they do. Enjoy the scroll down. At the end are notes about why applied artists and designer makers are opting to use Anarkik3DDesign and why haptics is so appropriate for 3D modelling! 12

(in) – Somnium: new work by Katja Prins

Ann Marie Shillito — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 23:18:43 +0000

This post celebrates (in) – Somnium: new work by Katja Prins, a jewellery artist in Amsterdam. Katja was introduced to Anarkik3DDesign, a 3D modelling programme, by her fellow jewellery maker, Birgit Laken and was immediately fascinated by this intuitive way of designing! The image shows 4 brooches, with 3D printed forms combined with silver and other elements. “(in) – Somnium” is exhibited at Galerie Rob Koudijs in Amsterdam until 17th December 2022. In her practice, Katja Prins reflects on her fascination for the relationship between technology and the human body. She is interested in the ambivalence, contradictions, the thin line between good and bad, improvement

Opportunity for AAS Members:

Ann Marie Shillito — Wed, 11 May 2022 12:07:44 +0000

Anarkik3D is collaborating with Applied Arts Scotland (AAS) to make loaning Anarkik3DDesign, with the haptic device, an affordable 3D modelling option for their Members. The haptic device is essential to this programme as it both enables you to touch and feel in 3D as you manipulate and form your model, and to move the cursor in all directions. The special offer on the monthly loan fee for the package includes the hardware with the haptic 3D modelling software.

Tacit knowledge and VR for Applied Artists

Ann Marie Shillito — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 00:42:32 +0000

This is a post on Ann Marie Shillito's personal interest about tacit knowledge and VR for Applied Artists: how we apply our ‘personal’ knowledge to working digitally and in virtual reality (VR). Ann Marie is a jeweller and joined Applied Arts Scotland’s DISTANCE2 Project to investigate ways in which makers could and would want to use immersive technology in their practice and to engage others with their craft practice. The theme that her small supportive group (ALM) focused on is how our tacit knowledge, as makers, enables us within our different disciplines to effectively make use of VR.
