Jasmine Theobald is a workshop technician at the B.15 Workshop. They studied Product and Furniture Design at Kingston University, where model making became their main way of exploring and developing ideas within her design process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her interests are taking an experimental approach to the making journey. With experience working in both wood and metal, they\u2019ve built a wide range of working prototypes and enjoy experimenting with different techniques and processes. This hands-on and exploration method, drives their creativity and continues to shape the way they solve problems through \u2018happy accidents\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jasmine is excited to explore the many possibilities that the model making process brings and to help students with achieving their goals and supporting them within the workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zane Zeivate<\/strong><\/p>\n

zane.zeivate@manchester.ac.uk<\/p>\n

Zane Zeivate is a workshop technician at the B.15 Workshop. She is also a practising
\nvisual artist working in sculpture and spatial interventions. Her practice is research rooted and shaped by her background in architecture, which examines the politics of space and the interplay between built environments and human perception. Zane seeks architectural details in cities and turns them into metaphors that speak about the social values, female emancipation, and our daily urban environment. She is passionate about research gaining tangible outputs, which leads Zane to frequently write for architectural publications and exhibit her sculptures internationally.<\/p>\n

Zane holds an MA in Interior Architecture from Sandberg Institute, Gerrit Rietveld
\nAcademy, Amsterdam and a BSc in Architecture and Urban Planning from Riga
\nTechnical University. Her experience at Hosoya Schaefer Architects (CH) and Zaiga Gaile.<\/p>\n

Architects (LV) has provided her with experience with renovations and a range of
\narchitecture competitions and urban design studies for large-scale
\nprojects. Throughout her architecture studies and work, Zane has explored modelmaking across scales, materials, and techniques.
\nZane works with a variety of materials, helping students explore what inspires them and
\nwhat best suits their ideas. She encourages experimentation and challenges traditional
\napproaches\u2014from concept to outcome. Through this process, students learn the
\nimportance of materials, the purpose behind their models and how to align them with
\ntheir design objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
