“I want to show classical companies that believing in and working with designers is a good way forward. How being courageous and working collaboratively taking risks can bring success. To designers I want to say consider your local crafts infrastructure; you have a responsibility to conserve these crafts! I’m interested in making a contribution, and helping out in the place I live.” For the first time, Jaime is presenting a collection of ceramics produced over the past ten years in a specially designed setting, curated by Spring Projects. _“Hayon and timid are two words that dispel each other like incompatible magnets… he’s like a book you can’t put down, except that you’re not holding the book and it’s reading itself.”_ Creative Review Click on "American Chateau":http://www.springprojects.co.uk to view Jaime's latest project with artist Nienke Klunder. 91 2009-08-22T09:06:30+01:00 --- !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess gallery_tag: hayon freetext: | !1440!:http://www.craftsmagazine.org.uk !1506!:http://www.scenecentral.co.uk right_column_layout: freetext summary: "h1. \xE2\x80\x94 Jaime Hayon\r\n\ \r\n\ h3. *UK Premiere*\r\n\ \r\n\ *Venue*\r\n\ \"Emma Bridgewater Pottery,\":http://www.emmabridgewater.co.uk The Courtyard, Eastwood Works, \r\n\ Lichfield Street, City Centre ST1 3EJ \r\n\ 01782 201328 \r\n\ \r\n\ *Dates*\r\n\ 3 October \xE2\x80\x94 29 November\r\n\ 10.00am \xE2\x80\x94 5.00pm, Tuesday \xE2\x80\x94 Saturday\r\n\ 10.00am \xE2\x80\x93 4.00pm, Sunday\r\n\ \r\n\ _\xE2\x80\x9CCeramics is like rice because it has the same properties in terms of telling us about different countries and cultures.\xE2\x80\x9D_\r\n\ Jaime Hayon \r\n\ \r\n\ The Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, who works from studios in Barcelona, Treviso and London, is an energetic and sparkling innovator with a particularly sensitive response to ceramics. As a teenager he immersed himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so prominent in his work today. He has worked with a number of major European companies including Lladro and Baccarat, reinvigorating their traditional product through developing a close relationship with those companies and their workforce.\r\n\ \r\n" false 1049 4 965 hayon_ceramics 1 10 2009-10-15T14:36:53+01:00 119 13
