Introduction to 3D clay printing
Onsite
May 31st - 1st June

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the process of designing and printing a digital model for clay 3D printing. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: designing your own 3D model for printing, clay preparation, setting up the printer, troubleshooting and more.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have their own printed piece, which will be bisque fired and available for collection at a later date.

This course is open to anyone interested in clay 3D printing. No prior experience with ceramics or digital modelling is required. Just bring a laptop and any tools you like to use for taking notes.

enorê is a visual artist working with ceramics and 3D technology to explore the entanglements between virtuality, physical embodiment and matter. Primarily working with 3D printed ceramics, they use clay as a catalyst to question how digital data can be mediated through physical processes, with an interest in clay's potential to hold, erode, and reconfigure form. Recent exhibitions include Poetics of Encryption at KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin), Points of Return at Somerset House Studios (London), and PIPA Prize (Rio de Janeiro) where they were a 2024 prize awardee. Commissions include Meta Open Arts, Contemporary And (C&), and The Public Statues and Sculpture Association (PSSA). They have previously facilitated workshops at the Victoria & Albert Museum, York Art Gallery, and South London Gallery, and currently teach on the BA Fine Arts at Kingston University.
