Photogrammetry Workshops

DH_Age offer photogrammetry workshops to community groups and professional bodies. The workshops provide hands-on training that teaches participants how to use photography to create 3D models of objects and spaces. These workshops are designed to empower community groups with the skills and tools to document and preserve their cultural heritage in a digital format.

Details of workshops will appear below when available. Please note that workshop are limited in number and are offered to participants in the hosting counties initially, with additional places open neighbouring counties.

Bookings are now Closed for the Heritage Week Training Event at the Burren Centre, Kilfenora, Co. Clare

In the workshops you will learn how to turn photographs into 3D models, which can help reveal hidden details on carved objects. Photogrammetry is a creative way to reveal hidden carvings without having to use chemicals to remove natural growth from stones. This helps to record and preserve the heritage of sites and create a lasting record for future generations to enjoy.

The process is easy to learn and workshops will be supported with video tutorials and assistance to groups in processing and accessing software freely into the future
