Teapot

Thursday, 20 August 2026

Coral

Coral is a handmade teapot inspired by the intricate forms and textures of sea corals. The single handle allows the teapot to be held from all directions, overhead, from the left or from the right, reflecting the many ways different cultures handle a teapot. An indent at the back of the body allows the teapot to be pinched and lifted. The design of the lid is integrated into the handle, so the lines flow around the whole form. Coral is made of coil-constructed, altered, carved and textured earthenware, finished with shino glaze and fired in oxidation.

Mural

Gajusz Foundation

The mural was created for children’s hospice. The design is a metaphor for the transition between two worlds. The building’s walls were used to show the metaphor. The dark and starry universe contrasts with the huge pink bird. Pink flamingo symbolizes caring support. Girl’s hair is a symbol for imagination and free spirit.

Climbing Tower

Tuesday, 18 August 2026

Wisdom Path

The nonfunctioning water tower has been decided by the Workshop management to reconstruct to become a climbing wall. Being the highest point around it is well visible outside the Workshop. It has the scenic view on Senezh lake, Workshop territory and pine forest around. Upon completion of their studies students participate in a ceremonial climbing to the very top of the tower being an observation point. Spiral movement around the tower is a symbol of experience gaining process. And the highest point is a symbol of life experience that is eventually transforms into the stone of wisdom.

Table Top Object

UnBespoke

UnBespoke is a modular tabletop object made from Indiana limestone. Four triangulated stone pieces are designed to hold tea light candles or small plants. The pieces can be arranged as a square, as an equilateral triangle, or in other formations chosen by the user. The design stems from the Haberdasher Puzzle, a mathematical problem that shows how to cut a square into pieces that form an equilateral triangle. When the pieces are rotated, the undulated interior edges of the square appear on the perimeter of the triangle. The object is modelled in 3D and cut by CNC machining.

Vessel

Black Star

Black Star is a decorative vessel handcrafted from alder wood. The design transforms a wood species with little grain or colour into an object that is pleasing to the eye and interesting to touch. The outer form is shaped by woodturning, and the inside is hollowed with bent tools. Many small holes are then drilled by hand and formed into cones, and an orange stain is applied inside them. A pyrographic pen adds small star motifs. The surface is finally charred black, which creates a soft, warm touch and strong contrast. The vessel measures 220 by 220 by 180 millimetres.

A variety of projects with unusual ideas and techniques were presented in 8 tape art installations and exhibited over 40 tape paintings, together with videos of the artists’ work in the past. They also added brilliant sounds and light to make the event an immersive art milieu and materials they applied included cloth tapes, duct tapes, paper tapes, packaging tales, plastic tapes, and foils.
