The Transaction Project,
blown glass in printed ceramics

Apprenticeship, reputation, recommendation, skill and status; The Transaction Project takes these aspects of craft as the basis for a network of production. Building on two years of investigation, the project brings together the work of ceramicist Jonathan Keep, artist researcher Charles Stern and design studio Unfold. Working with a technique that applies 3D printing to the problem of ceramic and glass compatibility, the group has created an iterative process that allows for rapid testing of materials and form. The results are composite objects that possess integrity toward handmade and digital skills.
