Clay of infinite possibilities

ustamagazyn_admin
A theater scholar and journalist, she works with people and under deadline pressure. Lots of conversations and stimuli. Ceramics is a gateway through which she escapes to a world of harmony and nature, to herself. She works in various techniques, including wheel throwing, but she likes intuitive sculpting best. She sits down at the table, breaks off a piece of soft clay from the block, rolls it into a cylinder, and sticks one cylinder to another. She only has a general outline of the shape in her head. Her hands follow the clay.

Magnolias and Slavic aperitif

ustamagazyn_admin
We tried these drinks and we are absolutely enchanted. Limited editions, seasonal flavors (oh, that magnolia champagne!) and outstanding sensations on the nose and tongue. Not only do they successfully replace alcohol, but each of these bottles is an adventure, a journey to an enchanted garden, to a field. Róża Brito, the creator of Brito Farm, shows incredible sensitivity and class with her fermentations.

Time for crafts

ustamagazyn_admin
From September 12 to 14, Krosno will become an international design center. For three days, the city will open its spaces to art, innovation, and creativity—from the historic market square to forgotten vacant buildings, which will come alive thanks to installations, exhibitions, and experimental projects. It is here, in the south of Podkarpacie, that the Krosno Design Festival 2025 will take place, an event where the past and the future meet in a creative dialogue.

Irini’s triple life

ustamagazyn_admin
How many incarnations can one person have? How many adventures to experience? Irini Karayannopoulou, Greek painter, argues that the more the better. She makes up biographies of herself, how a pirate appropriates adventures and works other artists, rebelling against the commercial use of the female body and image. And it is there one of the most enthusiastic, joyful people we know. We invite you to a meeting with the Greek geyser of fantasy and optimism. We interviewed us in March 2021, but now the Greek artist is opening two exhibitions in Warsaw during the Warsaw Gallery Weekend.

Winding pasta around ears

ustamagazyn_admin
In November, we had the unique pleasure of talking to and attending a workshop by Dutch “eating designer” Marije Vogelzang (organized as part of the Undiscovered - Stories about experience conference), who knows how to turn the mundane process of eating into an unexpected experience and spontaneous fun. She's the one who made Asian chefs dip their noses into their plates, eat without the help of their hands, fed restaurant guests dishes that matched their zodiacal signs, and made quite a game out of the simple act of making paste. And in the process, she created a separate chair at the design faculty in Eindhoven.
