Phone Altar Workshop: Designing Spaces for Attention

​Your attention is one of the most valuable things you own. And yet, it is constantly pulled, shaped, and given away.

In this hands-on workshop, we invite you to rethink your relationship with your phone by designing a physical place for it to rest; an altar, a holder, a small architectural gesture of intention. A space that marks a boundary. A space that helps you reclaim time.

Using accessible AI tools, you will “vibe design” your own object — moving from feeling to image to 3D form. Through guided prompts and experimentation, you will generate and shape a design that reflects how you want to live with your device, rather than be led by it.

​The workshop is open to anyone curious about spending less time on their phone, becoming more present at home, or exploring new ways of creating with AI and 3D tools. Whether you are completely new to 3D or already familiar, this session offers a different, intuitive approach to making.

​You will leave with a ready-to-print 3D file, and perhaps a new ritual for where your phone belongs.

​We will provide access to the tools (Leonardo AI and Meshy AI). Please bring your own laptop.
