The main focus of this workshop is to experiment with natural elements such as metal, wood, cork, plants, and clay and to identify their most interesting properties by applying various techniques such as oxidation, colour-mixing, photosynthesis, or polishing. We’ll create a library of experiments and material samples that we’ll then use as a starting point for the design of storytelling objects. Finally, the whole procedure can be projected on multiple materials and techniques. It is thus a completely process driven workshop that explores the fun of making related to the material’s true values.
