Benedetta Pompili – Ceramic & Social Designer in Amsterdam
Benedetta PompiliDesign research & ceramics

CV & studio detailsI am interested in the meanings of the choices of craftsmanship. This is reflected is the way I design the compositions of clay bodies and glazes, aiming to delineate day by day a circular and bioregional approach.
        Urban and industrial remnants recur in the work. I am drawn by their ambiguous past and circulation. Their incorporation is meant to shed light on their uncertain status.
       At the core of the work lies an interest in process as a form of knowledge. This extends beyond objects into the design of shared workspaces. They are intendend as environments that support exchange and collaboration

vuur collective is a shared workspace committed to the introduction of innovative and sustainable materials in the daily life of a ceramic atelier. It offers makers, artists, and designers a space to gain knowledge and develop a circular approach and get to know local materials for their own practice. vuur collective is also a space for local research in the form of brief residencies, workshops, masterclasses, and lectures. The project aims at making the knowledge more accessible outside of institutional frameworks.

Samples of glazes made of waste materials around the Netherlands and available for the members of the collective for their practices, 2025.
