More Clay Less Plastic, call for entries 2022
ABOUT US
MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC was born in 2014 as an open group on Facebook with the intent of creating a network between ceramicists and the public.
THE MESSAGE
The message we want to put through is very simple: more clay less plastic.
PLASTIC POLLUTION
Plastic pollution has reached dramatic levels. Reducing the use of plastic is a fundamental and urgent step to save the environment and improve the life quality of every living creature.
INVOLUTION AS A FORM OF EVOLUTION
The aim is to highlight respect for the environment by inviting people to rethink their daily habits, for example by avoiding disposable plastic. Colanders, cups, plates, bowls ... once made of clay and then substituted with plastic, can be made of clay again.
PEOPLE
Today MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC is coming out of the web to meet people, promoting the reduction of plastic usage at cultural events, workshops and exhibitions.
ARTISANS
MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC believes in craft as a means of going back to a more human dimension, in artcrafts which are not just "things" since they carry stories and ancient knowledge within.
By replacing a plastic utensil with a ceramic one we can all be part of a big revolution.
EXHIBITION
As in the previous editions, "MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC - Change in your hand 5" will be a traveling international exhibition of functional ceramic ware made by ceramicists from all over the world who join the MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC project. "MORE CLAY LESS PLASTIC - Change in your hand 3" will be presented at events linked with sustainable
consumption, craft fairs, cultural events, museums.
The tour will start in March 2022 and will travel different locations to be confirmed until December 2022.
