About this Event
Join Dr Stacey Hunter in Conversation with Studio Frostwood and Stefanie Cheong on the topic of sustainable design and ceramics.
Studio Frostwood recently undertook a year's worth of research and experimentation into the subject of sustainable ceramics. By examining different waste streams created by their shared ceramic studio, they took the first steps towards better understanding their materials.
The exhibition Sustainable Ceramics is the culmination of this year-long research project and gives practical insight into what they did, how they did it and what they achieved in the process.
Glasgow-based jeweller Stefanie Cheong was asked to collaborate with Studio Frostwood to see if glaze waste would be used in place of precious resources. Stefanie regularly uses different waste streams as part of her work, often paired with recycled or fair trade metals.
Join them in discussing their most recent projects and what sustainable design means to them.
