The beauty of new technologies is how they revolutionize traditional practices. Through their design studio Unfold, Dries Verbruggen and his partner Claire explore the intersection between ancient techniques and methods of the future to reconnect with a more local, human, and sustainable form of production. Known as the pioneers of ceramic 3D printing, they’ve collaborated with clients like Hermès, Aesop, and Barnabé Fillion Parfums.

In this course, Dries gives you a complete walkthrough of how to create functional ceramic pieces with 3D printing. Discover how to give shape to your designs and bring them to life through a variety of printing techniques.
