The exhibition “Digital Shape of Ceramics” features works from sixteen alumni and teaching staff of Hong Kong Art School, including five ceramicists and eleven students, who recently participated in the short course “Experimental 3D Clay Printing”. The main objective is to explore the possibilities of clay 3D printing, as a stand-alone method of making, or to act as an enhancement to other traditional ways of making. Creations include scanning real-life objects and constructing 3D models using AI technology. By utilizing 3D printing, ceramicists can create intricate designs with greater ease and precision, resulting in more complex meshes and curves that are otherwise challenging to replicate through alternative methods. “In time 3D printing will just become considered part of the ceramic tradition.” — Jonathan Keep. 3D printing technology has opened up new ways of making, allowing artists to bring complicated ideas to life.
