It all started with clay! Astrid Vagner found her initial interest with design, when she started making ceramic sculptures in 2017. Since then, she has tried to refine her craft, which led her to the exchange program SPACE ARITA, Saga University, and had the privilege of learning porcelain craftsmanship from the best. As an artist, she has a huge interest in traditional ceramic production methods. As a designer, she wonders how these can be challenged to accompany modern culture and technological advancements.
