Objectives

Clay belongs to the oldest materials of mankind and has origins worldwide. Various constructions are known in Europe but were buried by industrialized building methods after the 20th century. Today, there is a revival of attention to clay due to its availability, its properties regarding thermal balance, vapor diffusion and load bearing. Crafting clay aims to generate new knowledge on local practises, combined it with experiments on hybrid systems with regional materials like wood, straw ect.
