FA17 3D Ceramic Printing Master Class with Bryan Czibesz

Bryan Czibesz, Associate Professor of Ceramics at SUNY New Paltz, will lead a hands-on workshop and “build-out” on Ceramic 3D Printing for Harvard and MIT students at the Ceramics Program. A 3D printer will be constructed during his visit that can be accessed by students after the workshop for research purposes. Czibesz is an artist grounded in the tradition of object making who asks questions of authorship and authenticity through varying degrees of engagement and dislocation between the hand and material manipulation.  Read more about Bryan here.

The workshop will be held at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard at 224 Western Avenue, Allston, MA 02134.
