MA Designer Maker course leader Maiko Tsutsumi provides us with an overview of recent and up coming events on the course, including competition opportunities, residencies and exhibitions.
Officina Creativa dell’Abitare, Tuscany, Italy
‘Matter of Stuff’ Marble product competition and residency in Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
This competition is being run by the design gallery Matter of Stuff for MA Designer Maker and BA 3D Design students. Students from both courses have been invited to respond to the brief to design tableware using waste materials from the marble industry in Carrara.
Selected students will spend five days in Italy to make a prototype of their design, which will be later exhibited during the Montalcino Design Festival, as well as the London Design Festival in September 2016. The designs will be further developed into projects and to be sold through the Matter of Stuff gallery.
