JH588Y1 Harmony Vase
Harmony Vase. A mathematical simulation of two waves which exchange energy as the piece grows upwards from its base.
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.
