Can contemporary materials and modern day techniques be used to create 3D-printed ceramics inspired by ancient Egyptian faience?

Vaughan, Katie

Abstract

The Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) at the University of the West of England has recently been awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council for a three year research project entitled “Can Egyptian Paste Techniques (Faience) be used for 3D printed, Solid Free-form Fabrication of Ceramics?” The research aims to create a set of self-glazing ceramic materials based on ancient Egyptian Faience techniques, which will enable ceramic artists, designers and craftspeople to 3D print single fired, glazed ceramic objects; something that is not possible with current technology.
