Porcelain for Use. Exploring the Material and Its Processing.

This summer semester, a group of twelve design students from Germany, Italy, and Turkey explored the intersection of tradition and innovation in utility porcelain.

After conducting in-depth research into the history, culture, and myths surrounding the 'white gold,' they created practical porcelain items by experimenting with the material and its processing, combining traditional craftsmanship with digital production techniques.

The semester project culminated in a two-day realization workshop at the Drin & Dran Porcelain Manufactory in Munich, led by ceramist Elisabeth Klein, where all the designs showcased in this online exhibition were brought to life.
