RISING APE

A bit about me

Hi, you made it! if you are here there is a good chance you are a fan of my 3D Printing videos on YouTube or want to attend one of my in person painting workshops. If that is true you are in the right place.

I have been painting since I was 14 and printing for the last 3 years, its a wild ride but this website combines my two favourite things and aims to make them more accessible to you. with live tuition, online guides and product recommendations too.
