WORKSHOP CROSS-OVER: One step further. . 3D/Print/Ceramics/Print

The image was produced in the 3D Workshop using the Vinyl Cutter. The vinyl image was attached to a piece of plywood and sandblasted. The resulting low relief was rolled up with ink and printed in the Printmaking Workshop. To take the image a step further, we pressed the block into leather-hard clay. When dry, the clay was fired in the kiln in the Ceramics Workshop. The fired clay was then 'cold surfaced' in the Printmaking Workshop with printing inks.
