Thursday 20th 09:30am – 6:00pm, Friday 21st 9:30am – 4:30pm
University of Brighton
The AHRC-funded Digital Skills In Visual And Material Culture network service will host a two-day workshop as part of its training activities on 20-21 June 2024, at the University of Brighton.
The workshop aims to upskill researchers and practitioners in 3D digitisation methods for enhancing the documentation of visual and material culture with an emphasis on craft. The sessions will focus on creating 3D models using photogrammetry, as well as capturing Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) data, both methods useful for the documentation and access of Cultural Heritage assets and craft outputs. During the sessions we will explore the different parts of the photogrammetry and RTI process (equipment, setup, data acquisition and processing), and will look at different types of use cases/examples in the arts and humanities environment. The workshop focuses on material culture within Higher Education, Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums (GLAMs), and the creative industries, as well as crafting communities around the world.
If you encounter any issues with the registration, please get in touch with info@culturedigitalskills.org
Cost and Registration
The workshop is free, but we request that attendees register through Eventbrite. All participants will have to commit to attending the workshop for two days. Attendees will need to bring their own laptops for the training, and please let us know if this is an issue at the time of registration.
We are able to offer this event without a registration fee thanks to our funding. If for whatever reason, you register and become aware that you will no longer be able to join us, please consider cancelling your registration, as this will help us avoid incurred costs.

Bursaries
Bursaries for travel and subsistence will be available for a limited number of UK-based attendees whose remit is to research subjects in the arts and humanities at different levels, including researchers and practitioners working in GLAMs and the creative industries, including craft communities. The bursaries will cover travel (within the UK) and accommodation (up to 2 nights) to enable attendance at the workshop. All bursary applicants will have to commit to attending the workshop for two days.
The application deadline for both the workshop and the bursaries is Sunday 16 June, 2024, at 9 pm. To apply for a bursary, you need to commit to attending for the two days. Please send an email to info@culturedigitalskills.org when registering for the workshop, including:
- Your name, affiliation, type of organisation (HEI, GLAM, Creative Sector) career status (undergraduate student, postgraduate student, researcher, practitioner, other);
- A short statement on the context of your research, including the research aims, methodology and timeline;
- A description of how you plan to apply the skills acquired during the workshop;
- A short statement on how you plan to share this knowledge.
All bursary applicants will be notified about their application by Monday 17 June 2024.
The workshop will make use of the Virtual Research Environment (VRE) platform: https://services.d4science.org/group/culturedigitalskills/
