JH588Y11 Lily Vase
Lily Vase. An unlimited number of variations for the ‘petals’ can be created by changing the frequency and spacing of the curves.
This porcelain vase is 3D printed. Jack built his own 3D printer which extrudes a continuous thin spiral of soft clay. His designs combine hand-drawn elements with mathematical curves and semi-random ‘noise’. The base is fettled by hand and the piece is raw-fired in oxidation to 1250 degrees C in a gas kiln.

About this maker
In 2014, Jack and his late wife and fellow ceramicist built a 3D ceramic printer, there being no such printers available at the time. Together they began making 3D printed ceramics. Within six years, Jack re-thought his design ideas, formulated a workable clay mix, and developed his skill. His designs combine hand-drawn elements with mathematical curves and semi-random 'noise'. He is interested in nature's growth processes which often build up layer by layer like a 3D print. Random variations were introduced by using algorithms that were developed for animated films to give the appearance of flames, hair or vegetation.
