printing gcode plate #3 on a pre-printed clay mold
3d printed clay objects are typically built up layer after layer, on a flat, level surface. Printing forms that have no flat surfaces is a seemingly benign detail, but it vastly complicates the making processes in soft clay, and subverts a rather ubiquitous characteristic of ceramic objects. Humans have been constructing objects from clay for 20,000+ years, and yet new technologies can upend this experience in a moment and reintroduce the most fundamental questions anew.

3d printed & glazed stoneware, maple and permanent marker
this series of objects was assembled of (semi) standardized parts and 3d printed clay connectors.
In order to print these irregular ceramic objects, a clay specific support material was developed. This calcium based substance can be printed with the parts and will desolve away after the firing process. This supporting process is what allowed printing forms that do not have a flat bottom, as most clay 3d prints do.

Proceedural modeling via Grasshopper was used in these objects to generate structurally-sound and 3d-printable connector forms.
