Internships

Undergraduate or graduate internships are available in areas of digital modelling, computing, 3D printing, and studio support, and in communication and public outreach.
Interns are assisting with the design, development, and production of sculptural 3D printed forms for creative research. 
Educational benefits include hands-on experience with sculptural/3D design, form development, prototyping and production (3D printing with clay). Slip Rabbit interns also gain a broader understanding of the ceramic process: materials, mold making, slip casting, and firing. 
This internship is also a great portfolio building opportunity for a student with an eye on careers in design, engineering, architecture, STEAM education, and visual art. 

Research Residencies

Project driven research residencies in digital ceramics are available for emerging artists, designers, engineers, scientists and other professionals with the goal of exploring various sculptural, architectural, and process-based possibilities of 3D printing with clay. Often, the ceramic material will have a “will of its own,” turning the making process into an exciting inquiry into a play of possibilities, beautiful “errors” and serendipitous discoveries. 
Residencies are awarded by invitation of selected research proposals. Priority is given to interdisciplinary projects. 
Applicants must have taken an Intro to Ceramic 3D Printing Workshop to have a working knowledge with the process and studio equipment. Selected residency participants will receive access to studio equipment for up to 6 hours/week and 1hour/week consultation time with the director at a subsidized rate of $45-75/hour (sliding scale).  Residency projects are documented through the studio for educational purposes and may be shared in order to facilitate exploration and discovery.

If you have a research residency project or would like to develop one with Slip Rabbit, contact us for getting the discussion started. We also offer Bring Your Own File Workshops on Fridays.

Creative Collaborations

Creative Collaborations are a great way to get involved with the current research direction of Slip Rabbit. At this moment, we are the most interested in finding partners with innovative ideas for cross-disciplinary collaborations that involve parametric design (direct writing and editing of Gcode for printing), VR/AR and movement, as well as various machine-interface technologies with an eye towards experimental augmentations to the printer. As a collaborator, you are encouraged to be as much part of the hands-on making and exploration as your time allows, while the specialized ceramics equipment will be handled by the studio director and the Slip Rabbit interns. 

If you have a creative collaboration idea or would like to develop one with Slip Rabbit, contact us for getting the discussion started.
