Slip Cast Porcelain Ware - 3D Modelling & Rapid Prototyping
Consultancy
I hold an Advanced Diploma of Ceramics and have several years experience of teaching ceramics and other subjects at tertiary level where I have gained extensive experience and knowledge of a broad range of techniques. These include hand building, throwing, slip casting, glaze formulation and kiln firing as well as digital techniques of 3D modelling and rapid prototyping. I am able to advise on a broad range of topics including photography and web development, assist in research, development and production and provide practical training in these areas.

Practical Assistance
A fully equipped ceramics studio is available to focus on a particular area of interest - a recent 2-day workshop was tailored for the professional development of a group of secondary school teachers who wanted a practical workshop on slip casting with printed support materials which they could pass on to students. Please contact me for details and your requirements for workshops. CV available on request.
I have worked at the following universities on short courses or to develop certain skills.
The University of Southern Queensland
In 2019 I gave a series of workshops in wheel throwing.
The University of Queensland
In 2016 I conducted workshops for architecture students focusing on different methods of construction in clay, mainly handbuilding, to help students develop ideas for the design of a pavilion.
Griffith University
In 2007 I worked in collaboration with the Visual Arts department to produce the first series of porcelain slip cast sculpture Biomimesis. I used 3D modelling software and rapid prototyping techniques to develop the source forms.
