Visiting Artist in Ceramics | Tom Lauerman

Join us for a talk with artist Tom Lauerman who will delve into his creative practice, working within the overlap of sculpture, craft, and design. His objects, drawings, and installations explore the emotional capacities of constructed spaces as a visual, tactile, and visceral experience. In the studio, Tom seeks to synthesize digital fabrication strategies and traditional craft techniques.
