Bryan Czibesz, 2018
As a co-editor of this issue of Studio Potter, I’m pleased to present several perspectives on digital technology in ceramics, including many that concentrate on extrusion-based 3-D printing with clay.
Lorie Nelson, 2018
In selecting articles centered around the theme of fiber and clay, commonly known as paper clay, I included a personal narrative, interviews of artists who were innovators in the medium, [and] educational articles that introduce new technical applications...

DePauw University IBM 1620 Computer, 1968
[What] I love about the current technology and artistic direction of contemporary clay printing are “errors” (often intentionally introduced) arising from the printing that soften, and in some ways humanize, what can be a very sterile, cold, mechanical process.

I interviewed Rebecca Hutchinson, Jerry Bennett, and Rosette Gault because they are all early innovators in paper clay as an artistic medium, independently incorporated it in their studio practices, and are teachers who are willing to share their knowledge.

Francois Brument and Sonia Laugier, Eclipse, 2014.
Brief descriptions of Francois Brument and Sonia Laugier’s three TCB projects follows a recent interview with Brument. The discussion focuses on Brument’s background, his perception of contemporary design education, and his current project.

There is such divergency in the use of paper clay, it leads to confusion for artists new to the material [...] when we use the term “paper clay,” we are really talking about a material composed of cellulose-based fibers, not just paper fibers.

I identify as a potter, a creative who wants to continue the tradition of making clay vessels that represent the age in which I live—an age in which computer technology is ubiquitous.

Working with paper clay will certainly ruin your relationship with conventional clay. Perhaps “ruin” is too strong a word, but it is likely that once you’re exposed to it, you won’t turn back.

The education of a ceramic artist consists of a gradual accretion of embodied memories, accumulated through direct relationship with the clay.

The mission of Particle & Wave - Paper Clay Illuminated is to stimulate a conversation that explores innovation, creativity, and connectivity through the work of international artists who are incorporating cellulose-based fibers in clay as part of their studio practice.

Tom Lauerman, 2019.
Ask clay what it wants to be, and you won’t get a simple answer. Listen to clay, and you might hear it declare that it would like, more than anything else, to be fashioned into a slightly off-kilter, humble, and dignified tea bowl.

Studio Potter offers a remembrance of MacKenzie through his own words. The following is an excerpt of his 1990 interview with SP founding editor, Gerry Williams.

We strongly feel that our work actually softens the tension between digital and analog and shows how technology is essentially a continuation of a long tradition of making and applying tools.
