Inscrire

Francoise Schein, founder of the association INSCRIRE, Katia de Radigues and six Belgium students led tile design workshops at the Wedgwood Institute from 14 – 18 September.

Pupils from Forsbrook Primary, Brownhills and Sir Thomas Boughey had a fantastic time designing tiles, taking inspiration for their designs from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The tiles, which were donated by Johnson Tiles, will be assembled to create a ‘wonderwall’ which is to be displayed outdoors in Burslem.

Inscrire is a Paris based organisation founded and directed by French architect Francoise Schein. The organisation works with communities and local governments to build ceramic walls that are illustrative of the EU Charter of Fundamental Human Rights. The project has already been successfully carried out across the world with ceramic tiled displays in New York, Brazil, Afghanistan, Germany and Sweden. The installations are designed to provoke discussion and are placed in areas with a community focus such as subways, pavements or open spaces.

Francoise Schein is speaking about how artists can make a difference at the Biennial Platform Conference, Ceramic City: Design and Public Space on Friday 9 October.
