Arts Council will hold a hands-on workshop using SketchUp

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The Arts Council will hold a hands-on workshop using the SketchUp program for 3D modeling in October and November.

SketchUp is a free program designed to help users create, modify, and share 3D models for a wide range of uses including interior design, furniture or cabinetry design, set design and video game design.

The four-part workshop will be led by Huntsville furniture and wood artist J. Leko, who uses the SketchUp tool to design new pieces and communicate his designs to customers.

Workshop sessions will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 21 and 28 and Nov. 4 and 11. Participants should bring their own computer with SketchUp loaded (available online for free download) and a three-button mouse. The workshop fee for the four sessions is $180. Class size will be limited to 10 participants.

Preregistration for the workshop is required. Call Gina Hurst at 256-519-2787 or email ghurst@artshuntsville.org to register.
