14 - Printing a World of One’s Own with Jolie Ngo

Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Jolie Ngo. She creates 3D-printed ceramic vessels that bridge the past and future of ceramics. In our interview, we talk about how she became interested in the vessels as her go-to form and her excitement and trepidation coming into her next venture, furniture-making. We also discuss the influence of digital platforms on her vision of world-making, the vessel as a container of memory, and as well as the link between her sobriety and her practice. Furthermore, she tells us her sentiments about being labeled a “designer” and issues of the “handmade.”
