The Workshop

In everyday life we are probably spending too much time at our desks, mostly interacting with a screen-led device. It is time to immerse ourselves in nature and put our hands to physical work!

The goal of this workshop is to revitalize our boring office landscapes, with nature not only as an inspiring starting point for the project but also as matter and form for its results.

We'll work with two materials only - clay, which we extract from Boisbuchet's soil, and aluminum, which we recycle from empty drink cans. While earth can be used just for moulds in which we pour melted aluminium to generate our desired objects, it may also be used to create the forms which, after a firing process, become the final and fully functional products themselves.

The outcome can be a collection of different objects: trays, containers, smartphone holders, lamps, and a whole range of other utensils - you choose. In any case, back at home, a souvenir of Boisbuchet will be part of your brand new and exciting office environment.
