EXHIBITION IN PROGRESS
#3D-3 TERRRES
Collective exhibition of 3D printed ceramics
from saturday 30th november to sunday 22nd decembre 2019
3D-3 TERRES is a collaborative project who brings together thirty partners questioning the evolution of ceramics and the arrival of new technologies in the scope of artistic professions. Animated by 8 Fablab and Cap Rural, the project allows 18 ceramic professionals (designers, potters, artists…) to discover and explore the numeric craft tools of 8 Fablab during 3 workshops.
3D • 3TERRES is a collaborative project, led by 8 Fablab Drôme and Cap Rural around thirty partners. Its aim is to examine the evolution of ceramics and the arrival of new technologies in the field of crafts, as well as their impact on local development in rural areas.
Following the acquisition of a ceramic 3D printer by 8 Fablab, the 3D • 3TERRES project proposes to experiment the use of a 3D printer with ceramics professionals.
18 of them, potters, artists, visual artists, designers, all from the Drôme and working clay, participated from November 2018 to February 2019 in a training-experimentation.
At the end of this time of discovery of the 3D printer, everyone was invited to produce one or more creations to feed a collective exhibition.
3D • 3TERRES The EXPO is running this autumn in the Drôme. It presents nearly 70 pieces digitally designed and printed in 3D, and shows what this encounter between digital and artistic professions produces.
Three round tables take place in parallel with the exhibition’s roaming and will allow for exchanges between professionals and deepen certain questions. At the Centre d’art, we host the workshop « Seizing digital 3D tools: needs and accompaniments of professionals » on Thursday, December 5th.
The exhibition was also visible:
At the party hall of Cliousclat from September 12th to 22nd
At the house of Dieulefit ceramics from October 16th to 27th

Virtual reality is a technology that allows you to immerse yourself in a digitally created artificial world. The immersion is done using a virtual reality headset that places a stereoscopic 3D display system in front your eyes. Sensors detect the movements of the head, hands and its position on the game area. This technology finds its place in the 8 Fablab when it’s taken in hand by traditional sculptors who wish to open new horizons to the creation. Their practice is « increased » as they explore other ways to sculpt on a dedicated software. This is one of the techniques that has been chosen by some artisans and artists to produce their work with the 3D ceramic printer. In demonstration, it’s your turn to put on the helmet to be introduced to digital artistic creation.
