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.
