The Workshop

Bridge digital design and traditional craft in this two-week exploration of computer-aided clay working. Participants will learn to model in Rhinoceros and Blender 3D, 3D-scan clay maquettes, and fabricate through both printing and casting. The course emphasizes collaboration between hand and machine, guiding artists from digital concept to tangible ceramic form. Expect to leave with new skills in mold making, slip casting, and digital prototyping — and a deeper appreciation of technology’s creative potential.
