Light Grey Art Lab is proud to present our newest weekend workshop,
World Building with Claire Hummel and Colin Foran. The duo is traveling to Minneapolis from Seattle-based Microsoft Studios to join us in an incredible (and ambitious!) workshop filled with inspired discussion, exceptional exercises and a series of technical demos. Colin and Claire have professional world-building experience working on game titles such as Bioshock - Infinite and Killer Instinct and have helped develop the visuals for many other incredible Xbox and Kinect titles.
If you are an artist that has been dying to buff up your concepting skills in a super-collaborative experience, this workshop is for you! You'll be crafting content for a world in the style of the professional game development industry, under Claire and Colin's practiced eyes.
WORLD BUILDING WORKSHOP
with Colin Foran and Claire Hummel
November 1, 2 and 3rd
Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday
As always, this workshop is open and welcome to travelers! We will happily help you with your accommodations, so you can come and enjoy our fair city with us!
We're really thrilled to have Colin and Claire visit, just in time for our Rolemodels exhibition! What better way to celebrate our role-playing inspired show and card game than a guest visit from two artists from the gaming industry? These guys flex their mega-talented muscles both during work hours and after; you can check out both of their blogs to see they don't stop world-building at the office doors. After talking with them through a few shows and a podcast, it was clear that they are just excited about this kind of thing as we are.
