the past 14 years it has been exhibited in more than 150 location, from

Imagine designing a 3D object on your computer, printing it in 3D and
translating that into a ceramic object. and imagine doing it in an
inspiring century-old factory while surrounded by creative minds from
around the world.
With Medalta’s Bits to Atoms workshop (in
partnership with Medicine Hat College), you can do all of this. Bits to
Atoms facilitators will take you through the process of digital design
and 3D printing, in plastic. From there, you will make a plaster mould
from your plastic object, which will serve as the model for your ceramic
piece.
This exciting opportunity is perfect for anyone working
in the field of Education, Digital Design & Rending or Ceramic Art
who is always looking for ways to incorporate new technologies into
their practice.
This workshop will present handbuilt and
thrown functional ware with both commercial and hand made sprig mold

of embellishing techniques on and off wheel in making and assembling
highly decorative functional ware.
