3D Printing with Ocean Plastic 2018 - 2020

This project developed from the Isle of Harris Fish Slice (see previous pages) and was funded by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland (£10K). Ian Lambert teamed up with jewellery designer Kathy Vones to explore the potential of ocean plastic as 3D printing filament, at the same time as engaging with local communities and school children on the Isle of Harris and Mallaig, on the west coast. The project highlighted the potential of a well-known and pervasive waste problem as a raw material in creative engagement.
