Loading a biscuit, with last minute fixing of QR codes

One thing we realised from the bisque, is that the QR codes need to be accurate enough to give robust scanning results. This one wasn't working so well, so Christine made some adjustments before it went in the kiln.

First big decorating night - Pittormie Farm plate

This post shows how the QR codes are printed onto the plate, using the laser cut foam stamps.

Printing and drawing the QR codes

Laser cutting QR code stamps

We want to draw our QR codes, rather than print them, because it is an interesting juxtaposition of the digital and the hand made. We like the idea of one of the most ancient human technologies (firing earth)  meeting one of the more recent ones (computing). At some point in the future, humans may wonder what these strange squares are all about, but they are likely to still know what a plate is for.

Still, getting the QR code onto the plate in a simple way, so it could be drawn, was proving a challenge.
