Concept
This workshop is an exploration in ceramics and digital fabrication using 3-D printing of clay vessels. Students design and prepare files in 3-D modeling softwares PotterDraw and Rhino, and learn to output their files to the 3-D Potterbots. In addition to software, demonstrations cover machine operation and basic hand-building techniques to combine forms. Students create a portfolio of glazed, functional 3-D-printed vessels.

Anderson Ranch’s January Studio Sessions provide artists the opportunity to work on independent projects while receiving mentoring and critique sessions with Anderson Ranch artistic staff and interns. Each participant receives an assigned studio space, orientation, and access to equipment, as well as some morning group demonstrations and / or critiques. This program affords artists the experience enjoyed by national and international artists who access our state-of-the-art studios. Participants may expand their practices, take artistic risks, try new media or complete works for exhibition. *Studios are open 24 hours a day and on weekends for students enrolled in multiple weeks, with limited use of equipment due to safety requirements. There are no staff hours or kiln-firing on weekends. IMPORTANT DETAILS: Students will be responsible for all material costs associated with their projects.
