WELCOME TO THE CLAY COLOR COLLECTIVE

The Clay Color Collective is welcoming everyone who wants to participate in creating beautiful colors made out of clay. Collect local clay in your surrounding, process it to colors and share your results. Discover places on the map where members of the collective collected colors. We can't wait to see your colors. Let's start!

Findings On Soil

Life on earth depends on healthy soils. As part of hands-on materials education, young Eco-Social Design students at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano explored soil as a do-it-yourself material for art, design and architecture. Through practical exercises and guest workshops we examined its properties, everyday uses, and future possiblities. Collaborating with the BITZ unibz fablab, a community workshop for hobbyists, researchers and students based in Bolzano, we developed experimental kits to (re)connect and engage people with soil.
