Reconstructing digital logic through ceramic tiles and modular repetition

This workshop explores how digital language can be translated into material expression. Using miniature ceramic units, participants will construct coloured patterns and typographic compositions through modular repetition — shifting from screen to surface, from pixel to tile, from digital to manual.

At the centre is the grid: both a system and a visual language It's where repetition allows for variation, and structure opens space for improvisation. The grid here isn’t a constraint — it’s a method that supports rhythm, order, and disruption.

Each composition is encapsulated in a layer of translucent resin — a physical interface that echoes the digital screen. It captures the placement of parts, the rhythm of the hand, the intention behind each gesture. A moment suspended in a pixelated glaze.

The pieces produced in the workshop are not reproductions — they’re personal constructions. Just as ceramic tiles bring character to architectural spaces, these small-format objects carry something of their maker. Shaped fragment by fragment, they become not only visual compositions, but wearable extensions of identity — objects to be worn, carried, or kept.

Rather than simply recreating digital aesthetics, the workshop proposes a rethinking of language, colour, texture and pattern. Pixel by pixel. Tile by tile.
