Instructor Bio: Inspired by the fusion of art and technology, John Hyde makes sculpture and costumed characters that explore the union of creepy looks with a friendly soul. His work asks us to consider if what we habitually see as unsettling can also be kind. In 2016 rekindled his artistic endeavors by creating 3D printed fine art and costuming. It is never too late to begin a new discipline and driven by that ethic John has been learning with his hands how to blend his technological skills with traditional artistic modalities.
