Intro to Computational design & Clay 3D Printing — Summer 2026 Workshop (Beirut)

Learn Parametric Design & Clay 3D Printing — from concept to fabrication.

This 2-day intensive workshop introduces you to Rhino, Grasshopper, and clay 3D printing through hands-on making.

You’ll design a parametric form, and produce your own ceramic piece.

Limited spots available — 4 summer sessions only

  • This workshop is designed for:

    • Architecture and interior architecture students
    • Designers interested in parametric and computational design
    • Ceramic artists curious about 3D printing technologies
    • Makers and creatives exploring digital fabrication

    No prior experience with Grasshopper or ceramics is required.

  • How to think parametrically:

    • How to control form with logic

    • How digital models become physical objects

    • How clay behaves as a system
