Handle with Care, 2024 A Raw Clay Experience

Clay can transform into about anything – from teapots to toilets, ashtrays to apartment buildings. But as a maker, one has to be very awake in the process: Clay is a living material and if it gets too wet or dries too quickly, it will crack open. In other words Too Much and Too little Attention will kill it – as the most fragile moments between us...

Handle with Care is a ‘22 days Clay Challenge’, inviting the visitor to interact with the piece by evaluating the drying stage of the material, and to use the nebulizer to add water – or not?
