From digital rendering to fired ceramic: the making of Nature 19.
How does a sculpture move from a computer screen into the physical world? This process-focused look at Nicolas Touron’s (@nicolas_touron) Nature 19, a collaboration with artist Amy Lemaire (@amylemairestudio), highlights some of the stages of 3D clay printing—from digital design and rendering to the printer’s layered construction and the final firing.
Along the way, technology meets the unpredictability of clay, as material behavior and technical adjustments help shape the finished work. As Touron writes, “Introducing chance allows the process to remain open, responsive, and materially driven.”
His practice brings traditional ceramic techniques into dialogue with emerging technologies—and places storytelling and intuition at the center of the process.
