About Creator Space

Located on the ground floor of the Rutledge Building, The CreatorSpace was developed as part of a partnership between Winthrop University's College of Visual & Performing Arts and Knowledge Park.  The CreatorSpace provides currently enrolled students and faculty with a central location to converge and create. The space offers a variety of different materials for currently enrolled Winthrop students, including a state-of-the-art sound booth and lighting lab, as well as digital cameras, computer and software, keyboard, projector, and 3-D printers.

 

 

Examples of Equipment and Functions

* Yeager Theatre Light Lab - students acquire hands-on experience in the study of lighting design as an art that defines space and reveals form, and introduces all the tools, equipment and processes in a manageable 1:6 scale.
* Video production equipment  - used to create student-produced experimental video pieces
* Smart materials - integrated within the artist's studio including conductive fabrics, thread, and LED lights
* Flexible and rapid audio prototyping and recording sound isolation booth - using technology to enhance music production, creativity, and work flow. Students can create background music and voice overs.

Printing

Items printed on the large format printer or 3D printers must be paid prior to pick up in  Marketplace. The CreatorSpace lab assistants can assist with this process in The CreatorSpace.
