This introductory course to 3D clay printing and digital tools prompts students to investigate the synergy between the handmade arts and technology with the goal of creating a table lamp design. The workshop goes through every step of the process, from preparing clay for successful prints, to designing forms in Rhinoceros 3D, to exploring best practices for operating clay and plastic printers. Students learn different ways of finishing surfaces including airbrush techniques, ultimately completing and wiring a clay printed table lamp that they can take home.
