Join us for a series of knowledge-sharing sessions featuring artists and ceramic professionals from diverse European backgrounds as they discuss sustainable practices in contemporary ceramics.
Representing knowledge and research broadly from Europe and Japan, these three sessions will explore innovative approaches to sustainable ceramic practices, discuss and look at the role of industry and production practices in a historical context, and introduce substantial research on local materials and the influence of ancient crafts in today's ceramic practices.
The knowledge-sharing sessions aim to inspire about how ceramic practices can minimize environmental impact while enhancing artistic expression. They foster the sharing of ways to implement these innovations in your own practice, gain inspiration, or deepen insight into ceramic arts.
Online engagement through instagram @europeanglassceramiccontext will provide the opportunity to ask questions, comment on posts/stories with questions, and contribute to the content of the knowledge sharing session. We encourage you to actively engage and be part of the conversation
KNOWLEDGE SHARING SESSION 1.
TITLE: Recycling, innovation and material research CONTENT: In recent years, the programme for Crafts in Glass and Ceramics at the Royal Danish Academy has increased its focus on sustainability by exploring new ways of recycling materials, inventing alternative glazes, integrating unconventional materials, reducing the use of chemicals, etc.
This session will begin with a tour of the workshops and an introduction to the sustainable practices taught at the academy. It will also introduce research and learnings gained in a recent bachelor's project in crafts. Three artists and writers represented in ECC2024 will present their projects. A panel will discuss, inspire, and share knowledge between participants and guests both on site at the academy and through SoMe.
