Upcoming #Free event!

Join us Thursday, June 26 @oldsmyrnafirehouse for a talk by John Doane on 3D Printing As An Art Form.

John began instructing at the Spruill Center for the Arts in 2023, specializing in drawing classes that explore perspective and light sources in illustration as well as teaching an introductory 3-D printing class. Before Spruill, John was on the research faculty at Georgia Tech from 1993-2022 where he exercised his visualization skills creating many of the presentation products for his research group in Mechanical Engineering. Having lived in Atlanta for the past 39 years, he considers himself a native and loves sharing his passion for visual arts with artists in the area as well as those who travel to join in the process of learning and teaching.
