    Abstract

    Digital technology makes new possibilities in ceramic craft. This
    project is about how experiential knowledge that the craftsmen gains in a direct
    physical and tactile interaction with a responding material can be transformed
    and utilized in the use of digital technologies. The project presents
    SoundShaping, a system to create ceramics from the human voice. Based on a
    generic audio feature extraction system, and the principal component analysis
    to ensure that the pertinent information in the voice is used, a 3D shape is
    created using simple geometric rules. This shape is output to a 3D printer to
    make ceramic results. The system demonstrates the close connection between
    digital technology and craft practice.
