In this project the Hand has been a starting-point for our explorations of forms. The poem Human Hands, by Harry Martinsson has been an inspiration in developing our common concept for the exhibition, Movements of Making. In the poem, the hands are described as a connection between the concrete (physical) and the soul, which for us connect the making to both action and emotion.

As ceramists, we all have experienced the movement of kneading clay, a basic rhythm that mentally connect us to the making. Kneading a dough is the same movement and it feels similar as wedging clay. Clay and dough are materials we have been working with for thousands of years. To compare claymaking with baking have rooted our concept in daily life. For the exhibition, the baking is conceptualized and explored in different ways to create movements of making. The three approaches are:    

•    Presence of hands in tools for making

•    Traces of hands in forms, presenting the making

•    Concepts of hands through making and sharing

Workshopen Shelter fant sted i Helsingfors 22.-26. Juni 2008. Målet med workshopen var å arbeide sammen, diskutere skulpturelle aspekter og dele erfaringer og kunnskaper. De modellerte skulpturene fungerte som en del av diskusjonene. Som en forlengelse av workshopen fortsatte vi diskusjonen mellom oss ved å lage nye skulpturer som materialiserte kommentarer til hverandres skulpturer. I tillegg delte vi korte beskrivelser og refleksjoner av inntrykk og resultat. 

Workshopen var inspirerende på flere måter, og for meg åpnet dette samarbeidet perspektiver på hvordan man kan arbeide med strukturer i formutforskning. Workshopen er et eksempel på en bærekraftig, materialisert diskusjon. Skulpturene viser til det potensial som ligger i å bruke fiberleire i kreative prosesser. Skulpturene ble resirkulert etter dokumentasjon.

The workshop Shelter took place in Helsinki in June 22.-26, 2008. The aim of the workshop was to create a space to discuss sculptural aspects as well as sharing experiences and knowledge. As an extension of the workshop, we continued the discussion between us by creating new sculptures as materialized comments to each other's sculptures. We also shared short descriptions and reflections about our impressions and results. 

The workshop was inspiring in many ways and for me this collaboration opened new perspectives on how to work with structures in explorative form processes. The workshop is also an example of a sustainable, materialized discussion. The sculptures demonstrates the potential that lies in using fiber clay in creative processes. The sculptures were recycled after documentation.
