This week i have started printing work for the Ceramic Commons Exhibition in Horsens.  Read more about the Ceramic Commons project here

 

All the finished works can bee seen in Horsens and online on ceramiccommons.com from 5th of Novembre 2018

This demo print went wrong! I was showing a colleague how the printer works. She was thinking about getting a printer. I hope she was not discouraged by this demo.

The finished piece could have become a beautiful trophy…but broke before it reached the bisque firring.

Another print was attached by air baubles from the extruder. It was like tiny air baubles that kept shooting for several rounds. Then stopped and finished the print. The clay had been stored for a week in the tube, but i never had this happening before.

The drawings are an instruction on how to set up the Catus garden.

All files for the cactus prints are available as .stl files on my Thingiverse page. It would be great to see other gardens appearing so please go ahead and print your own garden.

This set of vases are designed for early spring flowers. The idea was to make a simple geometric shape that could be scaled down to fit just one small flower.

Compared to slip casting i find that 3D printing has a more vibrant surface that gives it a character that can also be found in  hand thrown ceramics.

I want the glaze to partly cover the grooves from the printing.

These cactus shaped prints are easy to print in clay.  The zigzag shape makes the soft clay wall very stable when printing. The pot and the cactus part are printed separately.
The base part is made as a solid print and  the top as a hollow.

You can find the .stl files on Thingiverse and mix and match the cactus and pots.

 

My aim is to make ceramic using a 3D printer. It is not the complexity of the prints that interests me, but rather the ceramics as a finished object. Is it beautifully? Is it functional?
I have been working on this Jug shape for some time trying to get proportions and structure right. Still some work to be done, but so far i am happy with the result. Thanks to K.H. Würtz for the glazing.

3D printing is a great tool to for making ceramic. More printing is coming…

Onsdag d. 15 november kl. 17.30 er ler printeren i Formværkstedet på Godsbanen, Aarhus

Kom ned og se hvad printeren kan. Jeg fortæller om hvordan og hvorfor jeg arbejder med keramik og 3D print. I kan se hvordan printeren bygger en figur op med ler.
Til dem der tænker på selv at gå i gang med at printe i ler bliver der en teknisk gennemgang af hvordan du indstiller printeren og forbereder leret til print.

Jeg har arbejdet med 3D print siden 2006, dengang var det ret dyrt og besværligt at få lavet et print.

I 2011 brugte jeg 3D printeren på Statens Værksteder for Kunst. Det var en Z-corp printer, der bygger formen op i gips. Materialet er ret porøst og det var nødvendigt at støbe en gummi model. Printet blev derfor printet som en negativ. Efter støbningen gik den oprindelig model tabt, men gummi modellen er meget holdbar og fungere godt til at fremstille gips forme over.

Nu arbejder jeg næsten kun med ler print, der er mange udfordringer men det er også en fantastisk teknik. Før jeg fik bygget min egen ler printer brugte jeg printeren på Engelsholm Højskole og på Guldagergård

 

3D-print og gammelt håndværk er ikke modsætninger. Denne gamle teknik til at fremstille dekorative fliser er opfundet i middelalderen. Stemplet der bruges til at trykke ned i det våde ler har oprindeligt været fremstillet af træ.

Det tager ca. en time at printe et stempel i PLA. Stemplet kan bruges mange gange. Filen til dette print ligger på Thingiverse.

Smør et tykt lag hvidt ler ned i fordybningen.

Læg flisen til tørre mellem to bræder, når det er blevet hårdt men ikke helt tørt kan du skrabe det hvide lag af men en spadel.
