Beyond the utilitarian and functional meaning of the ceramic production of artifacts, this workshop will allow participants to engage in discourses of 'language', 'material', 'technique' and 'object / artifact' apart from the current tendencies of merging the discipline with the ambitious fields of digital fabrication and ‘tech’ entrepreneurship. As alternative to such ‘tendencies’, the workshop will revisit narratives of creation and innovation exposing the work of students and professors through different influences: from the historical narrative to the contemporary role of the Ceramics. 25 - 30 July - School of Arts and Design, Caldas da Rainha, Portugal
