This video, produced by Luke Fandrich, documents a May 2013 conference at the Medalta museum in Alberta, Canada. The museum is set in the historic clay district, but they asked Steve Grimmer of the University of Manitoba to invite artists, designers and researchers to demonstrate something on the bleeding edge of ceramics technology: 3D printing with clay.
The video shows us the digitally-aided design process, then caps everything off as machines produce some exquisitely-detailed works, such as a frog sculpture and a ceramic double helix.
