ALTERFACT is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014. Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013, Lucile and Ben have worked in tandem on various projects in different mediums. Their collaboration has culminated in the creation of Alterfact Studio, a platform through which to conduct critical research with materials and data translated through the manufacture of ‘stuff’.

Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.

LA PETITE FABRIQUE DE BRUNSWICK is a Melbourne based ceramic studio created by artist Lucile in 2014. Lucile was born in the south of France and now works from her garden shed in Brunswick.

Slip cast techniques are used to create functional and sculptural bowls, cups and teapots that begin with a prototype used to make a mould to cast the iterations of each shape. Using pigments to colour the porcelain, Lucile applies patterns by hand to make each piece unique.

MELANIE CHANNELL makes ceramics from her studio in Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs, using both wheel throwing and hand building techniques. Her work is influenced by the Australian landscape, taking the time to slow down and appreciate the finer details of our surroundings.

Each object is unique, functional and intended to add to a nicer way of living where simple is often best.

HOME BY HARLEQUIN is the Sydney based practice of Lauren Eaton. With no formal training, Lauren spent years developing a new set of skills from casting to working with stones, silicone and resin, teaching herself techniques to create objects that are fresh and refined while staying true to her philosophy of functionality.

The result is a playful collection of pieces for the home with a simplicity that belies the difficulties encountered in using such unexpected materials.

Living and working in France, MATHIEU FROSSARD's work stands somewhere between art, design and craft. Looking at these practices from a distance, Mathieu's work is a collage of aesthetic references, shapes and materials that blur boundaries and offer multiple paths for the viewer to apprehend his work.

Giving viewers visual references, Mathieu pushes them to confront their own imaginative faculties, inviting them to interpret these as their own and to create stories based on what they see. Mathieu graduated in art and design from ESAD in Rheims, France, and from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Alexandra Standen from PINCH CERAMICS is a Sydney based ceramic artist currently undertaking a Masters by research at UNSW Art and Design. The premise of Alexandra's work is to bring into question the fragility of ceramic objects, speaking to the process of making work in porcelain as well as ‘feeling uneasy’ around objects of fragile or precarious nature.
