Cerámica experimental

Tomé un curso durante dos meses de cerámica experimental en la calle de Centenario en Coyoacán.
El taller número uno consiste en varios ejercicios ya preestablecidos para entender el tiempo de reposo del barro, la elasticidad, la reducción y la capacidad de cocción.

Estas son unas imágenes de algunas de las piezas que desarrollé allí.

Sin duda, el barro motiva e incrementa la creatividad. Encontrarse con una bola de posibilidades infinitas es asombroso.

Pero tomar la responsabilidad de volverse uno quien decida qué forma y función tomará; lo es más.

Life Cycle's Product ·bringing sustainability·

So, this is pretty much the cycle in which all products live in. It all starts from nature, the place we get our materials from since a long long time ago (think about stone, clay, water, wood, even animals in products like leather). This extracted material passes though a series of transformations and processes where it gets all the specs that nowadays we "need" for the following step; production, here the different materials are deformed, reshaped, transformed into individual pieces that most often are assembled with other pieces (very often of different sources of materials) then packed in individuals, then in groups, sometimes even packed with a third or fourth packaging to travel long distances. The next step is transportation. This is a key process in the view of the ecological impact of a product. It's always important to have in mind that most of the CO2 emissions come from intercontinental transportations. We'll talk more about this in a bit. This product...

Let´s talk about moulding -shapes and materials-

During the process of research on this growing material, turned out that the material and shape (although a little bit less) matters for the fungi to grow properly. This last months I've been working with different types of moulds. Mainly silicone based moulds. Also with glass and plastic like PP or PE from recused food containers. It turnes out that the best performance was given by the silicone moulds that are used in the food industry. Not sure if there is a specific type of name but the ones I was using where for making ice. I'm pretty sure the ones that are used for baking would also be well suited for this task. There is a couple of photos showing the thickness of the walls. I found that this thickness becomes important because a good performance is given when it's allowing the mycelium to breath in and out having an exchange of gases. It it also important to consider that the mould should be compressing the shape enough to not be too deformed on the way. In the...

Un poco de estambre

Para variarle un poco, este estuche de estambre. No está a la venta pues fue un capricho personal que es altamente valorado. Pero se publica en este blog para hacer saber a la gente que lo visita, el tipo de artilugios que se pueden crear utilizando el cerebro y las manos de un triángulo. Tiene un forro que, en sus orígenes, estaba destinado a ser mantel, por eso las fresas...está mono, ¿no? Y una puntada que me enseñó una muy buena amiga :D El contacto, por si acaso... soy.tritri0510@hotmail.com
