Woven Typography – DS15

Ricardas — Fri, 19 Sep 2014 12:39:48 +0000

This woven text sign was a design I did with my coursemates Tim Waines and Piotr Garstecki for Design Studio 15 End of Year Exhibition at Westminster University in July 2014.

The same typography that I developed for the ‘here comes everybody‘ ceramic piece was applied to create this woven DS15 sign.

Ceramic Typography – here comes everybody

This ceramic typography sign was a design I did for Design Studio 15 End of Year Exhibition at Westminster University in July 2014.

The typography of the sign as well as its aesthetic quality was designed using chance techniques. The letters are assembled out of small hand-pressed interconnecting clay components. Raku method of firing ceramics was used as a generator of chance in producing the unexpected aesthetic of glazes. The result of the experiment is typography with fascinating variety of colours and textures.

Thanks to Tim Waines and Piotr Garstecki for their huge contribution on this piece.

DS15 postcards from exhibition were gone quickly, but I kept a couple to myself.

At the back of each postcard is a blurb about my uni project.

It has been an amazing year for Design Studio 15 and it finished off with a brilliant exhibition!

I feel very honoured and overly thankful to my tutors Kester Rattenbury and Sean Griffiths and all coursemates for supporting the idea to make an installation with my pyramid tiles for the show. Thanks for Mat Crawford for helping me throughout the making process.

If you haven’t been yet, the exhibition is open until 5th July.

Summer Show Installation Making

Ricardas — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 20:10:24 +0000

I am currently working on an installation for the End of Year Show at University of Wesminster Design Studio 15.

My coursemate Mat Crawford is helping me to make 60+ of my pyramid tiles tiles to create an installation for the exhibition. It has proved to be very challenging, but looks promising.

Make sure you come and see it live on the opening night of The Architecture Summer Show at Westminster University Marylebone Campus on 13th June Thursday 6-9pm.
