Alison Thyra Grubb of Alison Thyra Ceramics makes geometric ceramics in her home studio in Aberdeenshire.
I use a combination of hand making techniques and digital technology to make my ceramics. I 3D print the models for my pieces and then make plaster moulds of them for slip casting, so I end up with an almost exact replica of the 3D print in clay. The layered textures that are built up during the 3D printing process can be beautiful machine-made patterns so I try to emphasise these by only sanding smooth certain surfaces. I finish and refine each cast by hand, and the wonderful nature of making by hand is that no piece will be exactly alike. I glaze my pieces with iridescent, metallic lustre glazes which have beautiful colour changing qualities and each glaze is often totally unique.
