Facilities

In the Ceramic Studio, we use high-fired, mainly stoneware clay. The place is suitable for different pottery techniques (wheel throwing, coiling, hand-building...) - the workshop has five electric pottery wheels, a sheet roller, a kneading machine, an extruder, 12 tables and shelves.

The lab introduces modern technology into the world of object creation. Technologies in the workshop include: Laser cutting, Engraving, 3D printing, 3D scanning, Vinyl film cutting (plotter cutting), ceramic decal printing, Prototyping. There are four computers available to students. Kindly take into consideration that printing may last up to 10–20 hours, so please find out any necessary information in time. Please bring your 3D models in .stl format.

This space has capacity to accommodate 45 people, industrial environment, girders for suspending or erecting sound and lighting equipment or installations.

Students of the Textil Department can make garments of design task in the Fashion workshop. In the Fashion workshop students can learn different skills, pattern development (flat pattern making, draping and CAD/CAM), tailoring, sewing, ironing, fusing technology.

The glass grinding workshop is where glass is cold worked. The various machines are suitable for cutting, grinding, sandblasting and polishing semi-finished objects.

In the Glass Technology Lab, students can shape hot glass using a gas burner. The cutting table can be used for cutting sheet glass, and making and sticking stained glass. In the kiln area next to the room, there are kilns used throughout the year for shaping hot glass and a glassblowing kiln operating periodically. Potential hazards: Staying in the workshop without an instructor is prohibited. Using the equipment is possible after accident-prevention training and induction.

Colour and black/white laser printing up to A/3 size. Risograph printing up to A/3 size. Relief printing up to SRA/2 size using conventionally and digitally prepped die plates. Embossing and blind-block printing. Copper engraving, copper etching, gravure printing up to A/3 size. Digital and conventional gold-leafing up to A/3 size. Completion of binding jobs, paper cutting, passe-partout cutting, corner rounding, bending, perforating, laminating, use of thermography methods.

The Knitting Workshop at TechPark allows students to learn the fundamentals of machine knitting on 7 double needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines, 9 single needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed LK150) and 8 electronically-controlled double needle-bed flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed SK 840) of different types and levels of subtlety. Three band-knitting machines and a string knitting machine are also available. Certain threads can be made suitable for knitting with the 2x4 head cross winding machine in the workshop. The sheets produced on the flat knitting machines can be made into cardigans and other knitted garments with the help of a hem stitch sewing machine and a chain stich sewing machine.

In addition to performing assignments from the Garment Accessory Design Specialisation of the Textile Design Programme, leather craft, as well as shoe and hat-making technologies are also taught. It is a modelling workshop with state-of-the-art equipment that also interacts with other workshops (Modelling, Metal, 3D Printer, Laser Cutting). In addition to raw materials made of natural leather, this workshop also deals with textiles, films, and other alternative materials.

Students can rent media technology equipment from the technicians’ room. Both check-outs and returns are only possible at the times indicated below. You can access the detailed list of devices by scanning the QR code below.

The Metalworker Workshop serves as the venue for learning about and practicing traditional and modern technologies that are closely linked to metalworking. Students can apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they learn under teacher supervision, but independently while modelling, completing or while their objects are being constructed. It is important for students to become capable of leveraging experience gained during the workshop creatively while solving their assignments, taking into account design criteria and requirements.

The Modelling Workshops are the venue for the modelling skills subject, where working and structural models, mock-ups and prototypes are made. Material knowledge and material shaping exercises, transfer of technical skills using metal, wood, plastics, and handheld/mechanical cutting tools.

It is a professional photo studio with Broncolor, Hensel and Multiblitz studio flashes, a wide range of light formers, pillared studio equipment stands, background stands and backgrounds. A Hasselblad camera set with a digital back and a Mamiya RB 6x7 analogue camera with a digital back are also available. The studio’s floor area is 150 m² and its floor to ceiling height is 7.5 m. It has three balconies and an infinity cove.

Ceramic, glass and porcelain objects are modelled and their moulds are created in the Plaster Workshop, but the works of other departments needing plaster moulds are also served here. Moulds are created on the one hand on the plaster lathes by turning, and, on the other hand, on the marble tables by plaster casting, using patterns or by wood-carving. In a separated part of the workshop, there is an area suitable for metal- and woodworking equipped with a vice, a bench drill, a grinder, and handheld power tools. Silicone casting can also be carried out in the workshop.

The core task of the Weaving Workshop is to provide students studying woven fabric design with theoretical and practical knowledge in weaving technology and fabric structure from the basics of weaving to digital fabric design. Samples, experimental textiles and even unique larger format works can be created in the workshop by hand weaving. The woks may be produced on a table loom or a large loom with 4-6 shafts, or a digitally controlled handloom with 24 shafts. Other services for our graduates: - Beaming - Winding - Using an electronic loom, including workshop use - Using a large, mechanical loom, including workshop use

Mainly intended for architecture students – creating and shaping models, mock-ups and prototypes through learning about woodworking technologies. Developing creative thinking and professional skills through constructing different structures. Using woodworking machinery, tools and equipment independently and safely, without accidents.
