What can 3D-printing in clay bring to ceramic design?
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. 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. The Gallery 3 pop-up exhibition presents the project's collaborative preliminary research.
This Thursday Night Live! Guest Programme is a satellite event of the Gallery 3 exhibition. After this event, guests are invited to visit the show.
