CV & studio detailsBenedetta Pompili is a social designer interested in the cultural and political meanings behind the craftsmanship of ceramics. By composing each clay body or glaze from scratch, each project aims at delineating ways of coping with tradition and its ecosystem. 

Urban and industrial remnants costantly recur in the work. Their incorporation becomes a tool to investigate on their ambiguous status, circulation and alternative possibilities to diminish the impact of the industry.

At the core of her practice lies an interest in daily repeated gestures and 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.
