contents Chinese ceramic-making involves complex and interdependent steps, making it technically demanding. Digital fabrication methods attempt to make the process more accessible, but for craft-creators, technical challenges such as CAD and CAM skills remain major obstacles. To address this, we designed a hybrid workflow that integrates Generative AI with clay 3D printing to support new creative possibilities. We evaluated the workflow through ClayScape, a design tool that operationalizes this approach, with four ceramic creators. Our findings show that the workflow supports accessible ceramic creation while revealing both expanded opportunities for creative exploration and challenges in balancing agency and control. This work demonstrates how hybrid workflows can lower barriers to digital fabrication while supporting creative possibilities in culturally grounded ceramic practices.
