Clay, creativity, and a little help from a 3D printer.

Ceramic artist Timea Tihanyi of @sliprabbitstudio is redefining what's possible when traditional craft meets technology—and finding beauty in the unexpected along the way.

@bonniewhitingpercussion performing The Third Body with my Corpus to Corpus sculptures at the Meany Studio Theater today. First time I saw Bonnie perform I said to myself: "this is the artist I would love to collaborate with! " After many years, a dream has come through! by @sliprabbitstudio

We had a blast at our 9.5th anniversary celebration and studio moving sale! Thank you everyone for coming and for supporting the studio throughout the years and at this transition.
See you soon at our new location with more #ceramic3dprinting #workshops and new programming! by @sliprabbitstudio

Say hello to the new home of Slip Rabbit Studio!
Excited about what the future holds. We are in an easily accessible commercial space, part of an amazing community. In this beautiful space will continue to offer #ceramic3dprinting and adding #creativitycoaching workshops and #leadershipdevelopment through art making.
I am shifting focus from large clay pieces to smaller works and back to fiber arts and textiles (my first love!)
More to be said about the transition soon. Come say good bye to the old studio this Saturday afternoon. I am holding an everything needs to go art materials and artwork sale. Be part of it! by @sliprabbitstudio

Next up at @acm_CHI 2026, a paper led by joyce.passananti and @emxtyu and co-authored with professor Tobias Höllerer and ceramic artist and professor Timea Tihanyi ( @sliprabbitstudio) entitled "Clay ARTools: Precise Machine Toolpath Editing for Clay 3D Printing With Craft-Inspired Direct Manipulation Tools in AR"

This work builds on our prior research in CAM-based design for clay 3D printing, extending the design environment to Augmented Reality. Clay 3D printing is often controlled by directly programming the deposition toolpath to fully exploit the capabilities of this fabrication method.

But systems that afford this level of control are based on desktop interactions. We wondered, could we make precise toolpath editing feel more embodied?

Augmented reality enables embodied interactions, but so far has only been applied to CAD. For toolpath editing necessary for clay 3D printing, we need to provide controllable ways to make edits. We do that by encapsulating edit operations as digital ceramic tools, inspired by ceramics tools.

Joyce and Emile implemented this idea in a prototype AR system that lets people manipulate and combine tools and modifiers to edit a toolpath.

In collaboration with Timea, we used Clay AR to design and fabricate ceramic vessels to demonstrate the wide range of effects that the digital tools and modifiers afford

🥁 🥁 Announcing the public launch of my coaching business with a focus on creativity and leadership!
After over 20 years in education, over 30 in visual art practice and a degree in neuropsychology, I am bringing my passion and experience from these areas to coaching. My waiting list for new clients still has a few spots. Please reach out through DM or leadthroughcreativity(dot)com to get your name on the list. The first Discovery call is always free. Packages are available at various price points. Discounts for artists and loyalty clients.
My whole being is to bring ideas to form. If you can feel what you want to become but can't yet see it clearly -- that's exactly where we begin. Together we'll sketch the life you imagine, build toward it, and shape your true form.

One of my slipcast #bonechina umbrellas from the Experiments in Being Lost series is now on view at @ekwc_oisterwijk

I made these in 2009 during my first #ceramicartistresidency Brings back memories of an amazing time, friendships, and soooo much technical learning.
EKWC is the absolutely best place for learning and making challenging projects.

I loved making this body of work: bone china is a beautiful, almost translucent but extremely challenging material, especially on this large scale.
Here is what it took: 1.engineering and testing of several different types of molds. 2. Devising several rigs for hoisting a barrel of casting slip over the mold, dumping excess liquid slip out of the mold, turning the mold with the drying shell of bone china slip, demolding safely, placing super fragile bone dry clay object on a kiln shelf, 3. Actually moving the piece out of the mold and onto the safety of a kiln shelf, 4. getting it into the kiln, and supporting during firing so it does not melt/warp into a puddle.

Besides all those, I came up with a technique to transfer an image onto clay and create it as a raised line (kind of embossing). Refining the carving of the map into each umbrella was my happy place away from the stress of all the engineering issues.
Each umbrella has a different map (a bit hard to see on the photo but the whole series is on my website). Each is my subjective map of a city I used to live in and explore on foot.

And finally... Meet the Fool’s Teacher Stupad!

Kept by the bedside, this Stupad waits for the moment before waking. Let the first act of each day be a touch to its cool surface, before random thoughts harden into reason and judgment. Rather than giving instruction, The Fool’s Teacher Stupad invites openness. It reminds us that wisdom is not only reasoned but also felt. Like surrendering to a purring cat kneading a lap, an openness to receive can make space for insight to enter.

The Fool’s Teacher says nothing, teaching acceptance through the quiet pleasure of stillness. Used in therapy and healing, this Stupad serves as a holding object: something to hold onto, to cradle in the hand when words fall short. Through touch, emotions are accepted and released without judgment.

It is neither mind nor body but something between: a safe conduit for unformed thoughts. Some therapists believe the Fool’s Teacher Stupad holds unspoken words in its hollow channel, echoing them back subtly through touch. It becomes a companion for in-between states, showing that healing often begins in liminal spaces.

The #Stupads are available through @gregkuceragallery

At the end of the year, most of us tally up gains and the losses. For those who have lost a loved one, my heart is with you. Know that you are not alone.

Here is the Farewell Stupad:
At funerals, mourners pass the Farewell Stupad gently over the deceased’s body, allowing the hollow to catch a final trace of warmth. The Stupad is then handed from person to person, distributing the preserved warmth from hand to hand. While this is its main purpose, the Farewell Stupad may be kept in the grieving home after the ceremony. At night, when one listens closely enough, they may hear a faint echo of clothes rustling and may catch a fugitive but familiar scent. The Farewell Stupad carries presence beyond absence, not as an image in the memory but as reverberations in one’s own nerve endings: a touch, a smell, a sound.

The #Stupads are available through @gregkuceragallery
