This week we sat down with Del Harrow to talk about his upcoming workshop Digitally Fabricated Molds here at Anderson Ranch As ceramic artists, the technology we use is a language. Our ideas and creative voices are expressed through tools, techniques and materials, which are both consistent and also continually evolving. In this workshop, we explore the theoretical context, practical applications, and poetic potential of digital technology integration into the languages of ceramic form.
