Abstract :
"THESE COFFEE CUPS are pretty bog-standard. A tin glaze, ??6 or ??7 to produce." Ceramicist Shane Williams is making a point: the lone potter can\´t compete with the mass market these days. He\´s been diversifying. He was up till 3am last night. Not on his wheel but trying to get parts of the 3D printer that he has built working. His is an invention that could see people printing at home cheaply and from varied materials. But more of that later.
