Wills Lane Gallery, St Ives

At the beginning of April we went to Wills Lane Gallery in St Ives to see Tavs Jørgensen’s. exhibition From virtual line to physical form: Glass and Ceramics. The glass and ceramic pieces you can see in our panorama originate from a line drawn in the air with a digital stylus. Jørgensen is a member of Autonomatic, a research group based at University College Falmouth that explores the use of digital design and manufacturing technologies in the creative process of making 3D objects.
