Elemental Earth: Material Design Process by Sandu Publications explores humanity’s oldest relationship — the one between hand and earth. For over 25,000 years we have shaped clay, stone and soil into art, tools and shelter, yet new technologies continue to push these materials into unexpected forms.
This book delves into the latest innovations in earth-based making, from composite stonework to 3D-printed ceramics. Through profiles of artists and designers who work with elemental materials, it reveals how creativity, skill and technology meet at the edge of tradition.
The first in a new series on material design, Elemental Earth presents a contemporary vision of craft that honours the ground beneath us. Paperback, 224 pages, 300 illustrations, 170 x 220 mm. Published by Gingko Press.
