We_are_vessels
'We'are'vessels 'explores what 3D-printing in clay could bring to ceramic design. The exhibition came about through an online exchange between international artists, designers and ceramicists during the Covid-19 pandemic.

We_are_vessels was born from a need for peer-to-peer contact between ceramic practitioners during the Covid-19 crisis. The goal of this project is to investigate the possibilities of a nomadic, international exhibition in which the exhibits - ceramic objects - can be manufactured on site using the ceramic 3D-printing technique. We_are_vessels reflects on 3D printing in clay as a 21st-century craft. In its current form, the collective has 18 members, representing nine different nationalities, who work across three continents. Through online meetings, they have explored the universal theme of the vessel and ceramic 3D-printing together. This Gallery 3 pop-up exhibition presents the project's collaborative preliminary research.
