POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The reel was fast, now, a moment to slow down and take in the beautiful qualities of the GLASS ON CERAMICS combinations.

Looking back at our workshop during Zurich Design Weeks with our wonderful guest mentor Attua Aparicio. Exploring contrasts, unexpected interactions and the endless possibilities that emerge when two materials meet.

A closer look at the textures, colours and surprising results that made this workshop so special.

Big thanks to @porzellanfabriklangenthal

Looking back at a fantastic workshop with our guest mentor Attua Aparicio during Zurich Design Weeks.

Exploring GLASS ON CERAMICS led to such playful, unexpected and pleasing results. So much fun experimenting with materials, breaking the rules and discovering all the things that happen along the way.

A big thank you to @porzellanfabriklangenthal for sponsoring the porcelain ware and making this workshop possible.

Twisted Benches Summer School
⁠
A two week summer school for local state school students aged 14-18 run by Attua Aparicio and Oscar Lessing. Students designed and prototyped a series of outdoor furniture including a bench, seating and coffee table. Students learnt about furniture design, recycled aluminium sand casting techniques, metal bending, joinery and working with glass.
⁠
This initiative is part of a wider commitment to involve young people in shaping the future of their neighbourhoods. It provides a platform for students to learn by doing, while developing confidence, collaboration skills and portfolios that support future university and job applications in architecture, engineering, and design.⁠

Student designers:⁠ Freddie Clift, Patricia Blazeviciute, Jennifer Duong, Telia Bonte, Ziggy Krzeszowiec Tomioka, Emil Ramelow, Eshal Umair, Hui ping, Rozalinda Cobo, Khushi Pruthi, Middid Lath, Yonatan Yemane, Jasha Siddiqui, Veerawal Majid, Krutagn Mistry

How fantastic was the workshop MIRROR, MIRROR with Attua Aparicio.

A day of experimenting with glass and ceramics, and a great insight into Attua’s way of working and thinking.

Thank you so much, Attua, for sharing your knowledge, processes and ideas with us, and thank you again Hannah for supporting the workshop and making the day happen.

So many interesting pieces came out of it, and we’re very curious to see how they look once everything is fired and finished.

Wait for the final images to come…

Yesterday we had the pleasure of having Attua Aparicio and her assistant Hannah at the studio for Glass on Ceramics, the first of our workshops for Zurich Design Weeks.

It was amazing to see everyone so immersed in the process, experimenting with different ways of bringing clay and glass together. By the end of the day, around 50+ plates were ready and are now waiting for their fusing session.

The porcelain ware was kindly sponsored by Suisse Langenthal.

Today, Attua is back for Mirror, Mirror, another workshop where again clay and glass come together in a single object.

We can’t wait to see what comes out of the kiln.

Attua Aparicio
Artist & designer · London, UK

Attua Aparicio is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of design, craft and art. Driven by material experimentation, her practice explores sustainability, tactility and material hybridisation, particularly through her ongoing research combining ceramics with waste borosilicate glass — a material that is normally difficult to recycle.

Presented as part of Dislocated Utility: Objects out of Place.
Curated by Natascha Madeiski & Paulina Reséndiz

Opening 17 September, 18:00
