Jade Crompton, a Ceramics and Digital Design student at Liverpool Hope University, has been inspired by natural formations like craters and lava bubbles in her designs. Her most recent work uses 3D printing to make polyamide models that she then coats and casts as semi-porcelain molds. Crompton uses SOLIDWORKS to make her designs and i.materialise to print her models, and her latest project is a Coffee Tableware Collection that is an extension of her earlier bubble and crater collection. This latest collection is aesthetically unique and practical: for example, the coffee mug proves very easy to grip since it is such an original shape.
