Join us for an afternoon of claying, fermentation and shared stories!
In this hands-on gathering, we’ll shape fermentation jars from clay —vessels that will hold not just fermented goods, but also stories, recipes, and shared experiences. Led by artists Sunjoo Lee, we’ll inscribe our jars with knowledge, memories, and whatever feels meaningful to us, letting our gestures and presence become part of the claying process itself. Together, we’ll imagine the rituals of exchange and futures these vessels might inspire.
After the workshop, the clay vessels will be fired and glazed. They will later come together as part of a small community library at Hof van Cartesius, where they can be filled with fermented and pickled goods and exchanged with others —allowing new stories, recipes and connections to emerge along the way.
This workshop is part of Planting Seeds for Biodiversity Futures, a collaboration between CCU and the University of Twente. In our ongoing series of workshop we’ve fermented kimchi and made pickles as ways to (re)connect with each other and the natural world.
No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
