Ceramics made of regional sludge, 2021, The Netherlands.
Sea Silt is a material research and ceramic product developed by the Dutch design studio Humade. The designers, renown for their kintsugi repair kit, extended their environmental research on local clay bodies. In particular, Sea Silt applies to make ceramics a sludge originating from Groningen, otherwise applied to build dikes. Containing sault and shrinking like porcelain, the material represented a chalenging material research for Humade. After two years of development, their Sea Silt collection of tile is now tested for production at Tikelaar Makkum (NL).
Benedetta Pompili, selected by Humade and the Stimuleringsfonds “Building Talent” commission, assisted Gieke and Lotte for developing the publication, new tiles and vases, as well as helping the digital and material production for their solo show at the Princessehod National Ceramic Museum in Leeuwarden (2022).
