Join Queer Shed Sligo, artist Bettina Seitz and Stuart Lawn from Manorhamilton FabLab for a two-day workshop all about 3D clay printing

Please note that this workshop is taking place on two days: 3D Printing on 10 November from 3pm, and Glazing is taking place on 4 December from 3pm.

3D printers can extrude everything from Kaolin and porcelain clay to stoneware and terracotta, even concrete (but that's a different story). This two day workshop spread over two weeks to allow for drying is aimed at artists who wish to get experience in 3D Printing with Clay. The workshop is facilitated by Stuart Lawn from Manorhamilton Fab Lab and artist Battina Seitz.

Participants will get to see the 3D Ceramic Printing process and get to experiment with using simple 3D CAD software to create their own designs to 3D Print in clay.

The workshop will focus on the design forms and types of clay that are suitable for 3D Printing and the aim is to inspire artists and existing ceramicists to consider using these new digital fabrication tools to expand and augment their existing artistic practices.
