Material Lab Expansion
We built a material testing lab to document glaze recipes, firing curves, and structural tolerances for complex forms.
2021
Automation & Telemetry
Programmable kiln controllers and remote monitoring brought reliable outcomes for high-volume studios.
2024
Immersive Education
Our VR workshop series launched to help studios and universities prototype together across borders.

How we think
Philosophy
Material science meets ancient techniques. We believe the best digital tools amplify—never replace—the artisan's hand and cultural knowledge.
Heritage first
Every engagement begins with research into regional craft traditions and material language.
Digital clarity
We model with production realities in mind, minimizing waste and maximizing repeatability.
Collaborative learning
Education is embedded in every project so studio teams gain long-term autonomy.
Gallery-ready outcomes
We design with display, lighting, and spatial storytelling as core considerations.
