Brian Peters Studio digitally craft artworks and site-specific installations
Brian Peters is an artist and designer specialising in 3D printed ceramics. He founded his studio with the mission to explore the intersection of architecture, art, and fabrication. Brian's work integrates digital coding, custom-built technology, contemporary aesthetics, and natural clay to create unique, hand-refined pieces. His current mission focuses on creating bespoke 3D printed artworks and site-specific installations that showcase patterns, textures, and forms with evidence of the artist’s hand. Core values include sustainability, innovation, and craftsmanship, with a purpose to push the boundaries of ceramic art and design.
Location
Headquarters: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Primary manufacturing/operations locations: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Note: Strategic location in Pittsburgh to leverage local expertise in art and technology.
The Circular Vision
Core circular economy principles: Designing out waste, using sustainable materials, and creating products that are fully recyclable.
Key innovations: Development of 3D printed ceramics that combine digital fabrication with traditional artisanal methods. Each piece is refined by hand after printing, dried, kiln-fired, and glazed using traditional techniques.
Prioritization of local sourcing and closed-loop supply chains: Emphasis on using locally sourced materials and sustainable production methods to minimize environmental impact and support local economies.
Pioneering Solutions
Flagship products: 3D printed ceramic wall-mounted sculptural installations, public art commissions, ceramic tiles, screen walls, terracotta blocks, and custom ceramic artworks.
Unique value propositions: High-quality, sustainable ceramic art solutions that prioritize circularity, material reuse, and environmental responsibility. Brian Peters' products are known for their intricate designs, innovative use of technology, and the visible imprint of the artist's hand.
The Regenerative Future
R&D focus areas: Advancing 3D printing technologies, optimizing production processes, and developing new applications for ceramic materials.
Ambitious goals: To lead the ceramic art and design industries in sustainable practices, create zero-waste products, and inspire a shift towards a regenerative approach to material design.
Fact Sheet
Commercial Availability: Products available globally through direct sales and commissioned projects.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD): Information not available.
Circularity Rating: 4/5 (Strong focus on sustainable practices and material reuse).
Key Certifications: Information not available.
Cost Rating: 4/5 (Competitive with custom art and design solutions, with significant value in craftsmanship and innovation).
Material Passport: Detailed material traceability and use of sustainable ceramic materials.
