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.

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.

JANE BURN is a ceramic artist living and working on Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

Jane was introduced to ceramics while resident in a one year Mombusho Scholarship at Miyadai University, Kyushu, Japan. Jane has completed a Diploma in Ceramics and has her work represented in Galleries and private collections. Jane’s hand built vessels take time to build, the process is slow, each crafted form unique.

She uses handbuilding and coiling techniques, the slow making allows for the development of shape inspired by classic forms. The relationship between the material and the maker is Jane’s focus seeking to record the notion of time and artist's hand in her work creating a ‘living vessel’.

STEPH WOODS is a Brisbane based contemporary artist known for her unconventional ceramic vessels. In her practice, she explores the expectations entwined with ceramics by opposing or exaggerating them through themes of reflection, functionality, and form. Steph’s distinctive pieces are visually material driven as she uses her fingertips as a tool to sculpt and create repetitive patterns.

Outrageous colour and extreme texture are a constant in her work, intended to encapsulate movement within the form and obscure the fragility of the ceramic.
