Synopsis

This book originates in the research project Craft Thinking in the Arts, directed by Sarah Weisman, founder of ClayLab, an experimental program integrated in the art education curriculum of the Campus for Design at the Trier University of Applied Sciences, and co-directed by Giulia Lamoni, collaborating member of Instituto de História da Arte at FCSH, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (IHA – NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST). Developed in 2022-2023, this one-year project was supported by the Campus for Design and the Strategiefond, University of Applied Sciences Trier, and IHA – NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST. As reflected in this publication, the project included workshops at ClayLab with Portuguese artists Flávia Vieira and Maja Escher, and a series of lectures by curator Lucia Pesapane and scholars Basia Sliwinska and Giulia Lamoni. Under the supervision of Sarah Weisman and with input from the above-mentioned activities, the students at ClayLab explored different possibilities to use clay as a material for their artistic practice. This book documents this collective work process, attempting to represent the dynamism, liveliness and commonality that characterized it.
