Welcome to the opening party of DesignMarch, which will be held at The Nordic House on April 4th from 5 to 7 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n
The project Earth and Water by Ald\u00eds Yngvad\u00f3ttir will be presented at Plantan b\u00edstr\u00f3 during the weekend of 4th-6th April. The project showcases a vase made of Icelandic clay that Yngvad\u00f3ttir collects and makes entirely herself. The vases are hand-built and the form is free and natural. There is no glaze on the outside, but the natural appearance is allowed to enjoy itself. The texture is rather raw, but the earthy color is warm and beautiful. The creative process takes its time – it is a \u201cslow\u201d design. Sustainability is a dominant theme in her work with Icelandic clay.<\/p>\n
The work is called Earth and Water because these materials are among the foundations of life on Earth. The vase combines the two because the clay is baked or burned earth filled with water, which allows living things such as plants to thrive.<\/p>\n
Opening Hours:
\nFri 4 April:5pm \u20137pm
\nSat 5 April:10am \u2013 5pm
\nSun 6 April: 10am \u2013 5pm<\/p>\n
Ald\u00eds graduated from the ceramics department at the Reykjav\u00edk School of Visual Arts in the spring of 2021. It was there she became interested in Icelandic clay and has since then been experimenting with this interesting material in ceramics and ceramic design.<\/p>\n
Accessibility in Plantan Bistr\u00f3 is good. On the same floor is a toilet with good access and changing facilities. There is a ramp leading to the Nordic House from the parking lot, and an automatic button at the main door.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the opening party of DesignMarch, which will be held at The Nordic House on April 4th from 5 to 7 p.m. The project Earth and Water by Ald\u00eds Yngvad\u00f3ttir will be presented at Plantan b\u00edstr\u00f3 during the weekend of 4th-6th April.
