we currently do not have a cnc at our disposal, but would love to play with some more organic shapes in traditionally hard and rigid surfaces

one last past artwork before we get back to the studio, this was an experiment craving organic ripple patterns into plywood, revealing the individual layers.

this was a design prototype for a client, but we feel it would look great displayed with a steel ball in t…

we don’t know yet what they will cost to make. we got a handful early requests already to figure out the process, but it’ll definitely take a few wells till things happens due to out limited studio time. if you want to add your request to the queue you’d get a good price if they turn out well ^^

a little vase we printed with filament we made to emulate the look of lambertian shading, where it’s lightness is determined by it’s surface normal and it’s dot product with a light vector

we figured out how to offset the background and add a rim

took us a bit to figure out how to use the experimental function (and to update openscad to a more recent version over the spotty mobile data) but it seems to work now.

steps to reproduce:
download the latest development snapshot
enable textmetrics in the preferences
July 29, 2025 at 1:14 PM
it looks like we can get the size of the font using `textmetrics()`
July 29, 2025 at 1:10 PM
using a custom ttf font in openscad is a lot easier then expected, and linja pona 4.9 seems to work flawlessly. we didn't expect this to be so easy, let's se if we can write a parametric nametag generator for the new project

we will be out of the studio for a bit, have some of our older works we haven’t shown yet.

this toki pona badge was laser carved and cut from aluminium and it turned out pretty well.

we were thinking of maybe making sitelen pona name badges

would you want one?

we discovered that we, in fact, do have more white underglaze. very excited to try some more once were back in the studio in a few weeks
July 26, 2025 at 3:14 PM
this process did leave us with some pretty shavings
July 26, 2025 at 1:18 PM
cottle boards would be a good option, but we are currently unable to access wood or woodworking tools, beyond a hand saw. our studio is still very much work in progress
July 26, 2025 at 1:13 PM
we played around a bit with some underglaze and carving. not entirely happy with the carving as it is a lot deeper than expected but the mudtools carving tools do cur really well.
underglaze will probably fire pretty translucent but we’ll see

an ok mold for our 2nd slip casting mold ever, with several years since the first. We experienced some chip out around the rim, which probably resulted from too short of a cure time.

the bucket used as the mold box didn’t survive, hence we are experimenting with modular boxes for the next mold
July 26, 2025 at 1:05 PM
we accidentally purchased a pot of a really ugly green glaze when we first got started, it was wrongly shelved at the pottery supply store and we only checked after we opened it. I don’t think I has been used since. Our first work is all in that green tho

- our 2nd slip casting went a lot better
- dry mold
- 1 hour soak time
- solidifying in covered mold overnight
- it came out nice and leather hard, easy to handle but still workable

shrinkage is annoying in slip casting, we wish we could just make molds from existing objects but then they would be too small
July 26, 2025 at 12:12 PM
ok so another slip casting attempt, this time in an oven dried mold with an hour to cast. looks promising so far, much thicker walls. we will let it dry overnight.
July 26, 2025 at 12:11 PM
we cross-sectioned the piece to better evaluate the profile and wall thickness
July 26, 2025 at 12:10 PM
a continuation of our slip casting experimentation. After not wanting to come out of the mold all day yesterday, this very thin walled bowl dried to bone dry in just a few hours, cracking in the process.

it does not seem like the mold was sufficiently dry, resulting in the t…

we’ve been experimenting with 3d printed modular mold boxes.

this is an initial proof of connect for our first design. parts connect through meshing teeth allowing them to index rigidly and seal well, even allowing for the use of a sealing compound like petroleum jelly.

one downside of this desig…
