Label

The Wedgwoodn't Tureen is made using rapid manufacturing with highly innovative ceramic materials to reproduce an iconic ceramic object, based on designs from the 1817 Wedgwood Creamware Catalogue. During his MPhil at the Royal College of Art (2006-08), Eden set out to challenge the accepted roles of the container in domestic life. His new body of work explores its more abstract qualities using a combination of 3D drawing software and additive layer manufacturing using non-fired ceramic materials. "I create objects inspired by historical objects and contemporary themes, through which the viewer may be engaged in a narrative". - Michael Eden.
