Some times having a hole in your expresso cup, shot glass or vase makes sense. Not often but in this case it certainly does. Beautiful items of 3D printed art with holes in them from Sloris!
Sloris (the studio), or M (as she likes to call herself – the artist) is an oil painter and fine designers from NYC but is currently on tour around Europe. She is on the road so to speak and due in Italy next. Probably in the home of art which is Florence (I have not asked her). However M has also turned 3D designer and 3D printer, experimenting with innovative ideas and building a shop for her 3D printed art. M is making some very unusual 3D prints; she is a 3D printing artist.

3D printed art with a hole in the middle
3DPrintWise recommends you go over and take a perusal at the Sloris Studio. We love the objet d’art which have 3D printed holes in them. They are called Holeyware and they are one of a kind types of design (3D printed art).
As her youtube video called Holeyware explains:
“Sloris 3D printed drink glasses have holes in them, but don’t leak! Watch as liquid is poured into a holey ceramic sake glass and pitcher, an espresso cup, a shot glass and a rocks glass with holes right through the middle!”

A holey 3d printed cup
And now it is #saturday and my mind turns to how do I stop writing and start doing something useful at the weekends. Life is getting shorter by the day.
➜Time perhaps in sunny SW France for a lunchtime gin & tonic.
No matter about the drink for a moment, I wonder whether M stands for Melanie, Mary, Melinda or what. Oh yes – (M) stands for hole in the (M)iddle. How stupid of me. Artists have always puzzled me – I am also trying to figure out the significance of her catch phrase in the Sloris shop:
“Reignite the whimsy of childhood. Reinvent the ritual of adulthood.”
I am giving up on that but do wonder what Picasso, Cezanne, Klee, Moore, Monet, Dali, Da Vinci and all the others would be making if they had had a 3D printer. Can you imagine? I am asking myself if David Hockney has a Makerbot or something similar in his Yorkshire hideout?
There is more from Sloris as she continues her journey as a 3D printing artist on the move.
