On Saturday November 26th the Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future exhibition was filled with people who came to see the exhibition and to participate in the workshop about 3D printing in clay. The workshop was hosted by the 3D printing specialists from ADDlab from Aalto University. Here are some pictures of the workshop.

Future Lights is one sub-projects of the Ceramics and its Dimensions project. The competition is held annually and it is targeted for people in the early stages of a career in ceramics. Each year, recent graduates from across Europe are invited to apply to Porzellanikon, setting out their experience and responding to the year’s theme. This year the theme of the competition is “incorporating the qualities of hand-crafted work or folk art traditions into industrially produced ceramics”.
Finalists are then invited to present to a panel of experts from museums, universities and other institutions specialising in ceramics. This year the presentation event was held in Fiskars, Finland. Winners are offered further opportunities to showcase their work at high profile events e.g. Ambiente consumer goods trade fair, and will be invited to attend a workshop at Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH (Meissen Porcelain Manufactory) to collaborate with their peers working in different disciplines. The winners of 2016 are:

As part of the events related to the Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future exhibition a Round Table meeting was organized in Laundry Cafe Bar in Fiskars, Finland in November 2016. The exhibition tours around Europe between 2016 and 2018, thus offering a possibility to discuss the value and future of ceramics in diverse local contexts.
The first meeting brought together different stakeholders including local ceramists, designers, students, teachers and professors that all have connection to ceramics. The main agenda of the discussion was the conception of the future of ceramics in the perspective of the now as well as in the perspective of the time each of the discussion participants started their careers. From these starting points the discussion grew into larger dimensions.
The main themes that arose from the discussion were materiality and change, that were reflected from the point of view of the future and of personal careers. Some of the outcomes of the discussion were around the topics of education and industry. During the discussion, it was pointed out that the relationship with the material has changed in the teaching of ceramics significantly during the last years, moving the responsibility of getting a deeper understanding of the material more to the students. The current changes in the industry, teaching and technical development were seen as a positive opportunity for a fresh start, but at the same time the notion that something might be lost, was in the air. In the end, there was a consensus that a basic human need for the making with hands remains also in the future.
The Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future exhibition opening on November 9th in the White Hall, Copper Smithy, Fiskars Village. Thank you for all the participants!
Charlie Stern visited last week Aalto University, School of Art, Design and Architecture. Here are some pictures of the visit. The works that were produced during the visit are going to be shown in the Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future exhibition. The works are part of the Boda Matrix – The Transaction Project, which is a modular work that grows in stages, transacting with particular makers, institutions and techniques. The project began with the creation of a method to combine glass and ceramics via digital fabrication. It distributes the technique informally through a series of work sessions which invite glass makers to adapt and improve the process. The glass parts for the Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future exhibition were blown in Aalto University, School of Arts, Design and Architecture by Kazushi Nakada.
