SMOKEJACK explores the aesthetic language of digital crafting within contemporary ceramics. The collection showcases CNC milling on wet terracotta clay exploring the fingerprint of the machine. As the tool collides with the clay, digital imperfections reveal themselves. The project unpacts CNC technology from a craft perspective and looks at the digital tool in the historical craft process of retooling.
