BOTTEGA IN BLOOM: ICG GALLERY LONDON BECOMES AN EVOCATIVE ARTISTIC WORKSHOP
Iris Ceramica Group is taking part in the Clerkenwell Design Week with its ICG Gallery and with its very own space in the Old Session House. For the occasion, the Company presents “Bottega in Bloom”, an original format of events and workshops reflecting on circularity and the role of art in transforming and giving new meaning to waste materials.
Artistic traditions, craftsmanship and innovation inspire the workshops and installations “Bottega in Bloom”: ICG Gallery London becomes an artistic workshop experimenting the transformation and decoration of materials. Visitors are invited to become craftsmen; using creativity and art, they can give new meaning and value to materials taken from processing wastes.
The events and workshops organised for the Clerkenwell Design Week pay homage to the Iris Ceramica collection “Bottega d’Arte” - an Iris Ceramica Group brand – red body surfaces with a hand-crafted flavour, an authentic haute couture of ceramics. The terracotta products are created exploring traditional production techniques and manual skills to shed new light on handmade beauty.
Guests are invited to become craftsmen of the ‘bottega’, playing with colours, real flowers, ceramic production waste and other materials to create circular artistic installations brining life to a collective work of art in the ICG Gallery even after the Clerkenwell Design Week.
