작가 소개

Studio Sand.o is a digital craft studio where handcraft sensibility meets clay 3D printing—reimagining Korea’s quiet elegance and delicate curves through contemporary making.

My work starts with one question: what happens when a machine learns to speak a craft language? Instead of using clay 3D printing for efficiency, I treat it as a way to observe material behavior. Clay is never fully predictable. Moisture, gravity, drying, and shrinkage always shift. So I design with these variables rather than trying to hide them. The printed layers and imperfections become traces of time, pressure, and touch.

My process moves through research and close observation, parametric design (building systems that generate variations), and material testing with printing settings. Firing and glazing become a second design phase, where heat and glaze reshape the surface—pooling, stopping, or flowing between layers to add depth.

Whether functional or sculptural, I aim to make objects that feel calm in silhouette but reveal a rich tactile language up close, bridging digital code and living material, tradition and technology, into a new continuum of craft.
