Who's who

The team

Five people, one kiln, five 3D printers and an espresso machine called Babka.

Illustrator by day, Watercolour Wednesday host by evening. Camera-shy, so here's her class instead.

Tomáš

3D printing

Engineer who repairs anything with a plug. Sent us a photo of his favourite printer, Bob, instead of himself.

“We wanted a place where it's normal to have clay under your nails while you drink your coffee.”— Zuzana & Marek
