Drawn to the tactile nature of clay, Hendrien is an award-winning artist, author and curator. She moved into clay 3D printing in 2019 after sustaining an injury whilst creating a large vessel on her pottery wheel.
Working from her studio in Pretoria, she is the first contemporary clay 3D printing artist in South Africa. The creative activity of interlacing technology and art continually triggers her imagination as she experiments with cascading and warping clay forms.
Exhibiting all around the country, Hendrien also gives talks and workshops on this exciting topic. Her book “Let’s Clay 3D Print! A Guidebook” was released in July 2024, featuring industry experts and artists from around the world.
“My work is an amalgamation of earth, machine and potter fused together creating a coiled body that is perfect in its imperfections.” – Hendrien Horn.
