Coming from last year’s powerful learnings about Resting and Assembling as artistic and resistance practices, in this Spring Funding we want to continue to offer support to fellow students who want to put their creative energy into building connections with each other in spaces, circumstances, and times when being disconnected may seem, instead, the most accessible possibility.

Do you want to have an unique and amazing pipe that you make by your hands and clay? This is your chance.

I once made pipes with clay in ceramic workshop, and the result was amazing.

I've been carrying my pipe ( a monkey with cow pattern) all around Amsterdam since I made it, everywhere I go everyone who has seen it, love it so much. So, I had this idea of creating a workshop and share with everyone this interesting and easy process of how to make your own unique crazy pipe just with your bare hands, clay and fire.
