Rhino3d UK User Group Meeting with Ceramic Artist and Maker, Michael Eden - October 2021

For October's Rhino UK User Group Meeting we were joined by Michael Eden.
Michael Eden is an award-winning ceramic artist and maker, internationally recognised as one of the first makers to engage with and realise the creative potential of new technology including 3D printing and scanning. His work sits at the intersection of craft, design, art and technology, exploring contemporary themes through historical, culturally familiar objects.
For his 2018 major solo exhibition at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, Michael Eden was able to scan a number of rare 18th century French porcelain vases and use them as the basis for re-interpretations. When they were made, the finely crafted and highly decorated ceramics were technically highly advanced and Michael’s aim was to bring their story into the 21st century through the use of the technology that is available to artists, makers and designers.
Though Michael has employed Rhino 3D software since he was a Royal College of Art student between 2006 and 2008, he still approaches his work as an artist and craftsman, having previously spent over 20 years as a potter.
Throughout the meeting Michael discusses his approach to his work and his process. Following Michael's presentation we open the floor to questions from our audience in a live Question and Answer chat.

Nice. I’m a keen rhino 3D user and still learning. I’m inspired to hear from Michael Eden because I just finished my Industrial design/ceramics design degree here in Nigeria. Hopefully one day I can learn directly from Michael Eden.

Thanks Rhino team and Michael Eden for the presentation. Michael, your work is stunning and I am amazed at work you're been able to create. I'm interested in getting my digital files printed in clay and am having a difficult time finding a US bureau specializing in Additive Manufacturing using ceramics SLS. Anyone out there with contacts? I have a 3D printer that uses ceramic resin but the print size is small.
Thanks,
Sam
