“We can talk of the ceramics workshop & the ceramics medium as such as a traditional arena of collaborative practice. Its specificity & potential relevance for the contemporary era lies precisely in this very special historic role, since modernization can also stem from the workshop tradition, where this kind of production customarily took place. In contemporary art we often stress the importance of integration among art groups or social groups, which is facilitated by grouped activity, & the ceramics workshop can be just such a scene of events. Moreover, due to the dominance of the material, which would be at the forefront of such a workshop, it could even be dealt with in today’s high-tech times as a space of alternative culture.” –Nadja Zdonik, from the catalogue
