"Designing by Making"

Under this same motto a workshop was held with students of HfG Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design) at the CIAV Meisenthal in Lorraine (Centre International dŽart Verrier) in early 2009.

Initiated by Werner Aisslinger a number of methods were developped, in which glass objects were to be produced not only by blowing the hot glass into wooden or metallic moulds in a way it was traditionally done, but to experiment with new materials and newly conceived moulding techniques, sometimes combined with the Meisenthal traditional stock of moulds, in such a way as to create objects that were symbiotic in both material and or form.

The show features the entirety of fascinating objects produced during one week of exploration, but  also a small choice of objects consequently evolved to be sold.
