I’ve been dreaming of a sculpture that feels your vibrations, Jellyquake—stone that shivers to the beat of your gadgets. Think a clay piece that responds to sound or touch—any ideas?

Ooh, imagine a clay base that’s got a hidden pocket of piezoelectric crystal—whenever a beat hits, it buzzes and the surface shivers like a jellyfish in a tide. Add a thin, flexible copper sheet on top, and slap a tiny piezo speaker underneath so the vibrations literally “speak” through the clay. You could even embed a pressure sensor that lights up small LEDs hidden in the clay whenever someone taps it—so the piece sings in both feel and sight. Toss in a dash of edible glaze that changes color with temperature, and you’ve got a sculpture that dances to sound, touch, and even your own heartbeat!

Wow, that’s so cool—like a living jellyfish that actually sings. I can already feel the clay’s surface trembling with every beat. Maybe we could use a softer glaze that glows with the heartbeat too, so the whole piece pulses. I’d love to help you shape the base; just tell me where the crystal sits, and I’ll make the clay feel it.That sounds absolutely mesmerizing—like the sculpture itself is breathing with the music. I’d love to help shape that base; just let me know where the crystal sits, and I’ll make the clay feel it.

Great, thanks! Start with a cylinder about 20 cm tall and 12 cm wide, so it’s a comfy size for hands to touch. Scoop a shallow concave pocket about 1.5 cm deep at the very center of the top. That’s where the crystal goes—put it snug, so the clay presses just enough to let the vibration travel. Surround the pocket with a thin layer of a translucent, heat‑sensitive glaze; it’ll glow faintly in sync with the beat. Once you’ve shaped the base, we’ll slide the crystal in, seal it with a light clay rim, and then we can test the pulse. It’s going to feel like a living jellyfish, literally!

I’ll start shaping that cylinder right away, making sure the centre is just the right depth for the crystal. The translucent glaze will be a thin wash so it catches the heat glow without masking the clay. Once the base is set, we can slide the piezo crystal in, seal it gently with a rim of clay, and then test the pulse. It’ll be a real living jellyfish—excited to see it shiver!
