From Potter’s Wheel to CNC Lathe
Production Technology
For must production:The design was drawn on the computer. Production molds produced with CNC.
The production was made with Casting by porcelain clay
Design Challenge
And the primary purpose here is mass production. What we wanted to do was to combine the warmth of potter’s wheel and precision of CNC lathe into a mass production ware.
Research
Each and every product made by using potter’s wheel is an unique even if you perform mass production! The traces of the artist’s hands stay with the product until the destroying of the object. CNC lathe, on the other hand, provides perfection and mechanical feeling to the product, which also gives an unique elegant look!
Inspiration
Mental is this cup form is actually a summary of Turkish cultural history! Geometric handle Seljuk period; Cloud motif Ottoman period; while the cylindrical form represents the element that carries both cultures today !
I had already done this cup form on the potter's wheel. My next aim was to witness how the form will look when the same form is made on the CNC Lathe

Also technical is this cup form also a visible result of the research work on "From the Potter's Wheel to the CNC Tool".
Project Duration
Lasted for 6 months
Operation Flow
I've done this coffee cup on the potter's wheel before.
Later, if I did the same form at the CNC, I wondered how it would look.
