Single fired and raw glazed earthenware, various sizes, 2023.
The project adapts on 3D printed earthenware vessels the ancient single firing technique, which consists on obtaining a sintered and glazed ceramic object with only one instead of two or three firings. The process drastically reduces the energetic impact of the manufacturing process.
Raw.obj combines the traditional knowledge of the craft, as the technique requires a set of technical skills and practice, with digital making. It pushes the technique to its limits by raw glazing thin 3d printed clay walls aiming at showing the applicability and functionality of the process.
Single firing was supplented by bisque firing before Modernism to make reliable replicas whilst in need of mass production. Bisque ware is less fragile, can be moved within distant facilities with less loss and it can be more easily glazed by untrained workers.
The project invites to reflect and question standardied manufacturing processes. The single firing technique, among others, manifests the importance of keeping alive the know-how, with a particular propension for art and collectable design. The raw glazing represents an important aspect to reflect on, looking ahead in time, for the ceramic industry to cherish within a growing environmentally sensitive path.
In occasion of the exhibition “Pioneers in Ceramics”, curated by Esther van Der Hoorn and Esther Munoz Grootveld for the Museum Prinsenhof in Delft (NL), the 3d printes Maas river clay is enriched by a baby blue underglaze made with 1% Cobalt Oxide in honour to the “Delft Blue”.
