Sammendrag

This paper details practice-based research exploring new creative possibilities involving the ceramic extru­sion process. The paper begins by providing a short overview of the extrusion technique, its cha­rac­teristics and some contextual coverage of the process. The paper then describes how both tacit know­ledge and theoretical material understanding have been used to overcome technical challenges through ite­ra­tive research cycles and how, ultimately, the aesthetic qualities of the extrusion process have been used to develop a body of creative work. A key theme of the research is how digital fabrication tech­no­log­ies can be used in toolmaking scenarios to deliver innovation with a process that has long been used in craft ceramics but has remained somewhat underutilised.
