Combining Digital 3D Printing With Throwing

I have been working with Matt Long at Coleg Sir Gar on 3D digital printing using Z-Brush programme. The attachment on the top of lidded jar was created on a Mac then printed out in Stainless Steel by Shapeways.I have a feeling that this technology will have a big part in shaping the future of design craft culture.  I am most interested in these digital methods when they are combined with traditional processes.
