design and crafts workshops with a focus on participation, inclusion and social impact.
Design Through
Constraint
The One Sheet Furniture Lab is a design-led woodworking format based on a simple constraint: working with a single sheet of material.
It is part of the design practice, where interaction of form, structure and material are explored, and witnessed how limitations can lead to clarity in design.
One Sheet Furniture Lab
Working with one sheet forces decisions:
How much material is necessary?
Where can weight be reduced, and where must strength remain?
How does structure emerge from form?
In the lab, this process becomes visible.
It is observed, documented and reflected in real time.
Participants move from idea to object.
They sketch, test, adjust, and build.
Each piece begins from the same starting point, yet becomes a unique object shaped by individual decisions.
The outcome is not only a finished object, but a deeper understanding of how design translates into structure, and how material responds to intention.
This approach reflects my way of working as a designer, using constraints to reveal structure, clarity and form.
design and craft zero waste jewellery
The Zero Waste Jewelry Workshop is a design-led format working with leftover wood and small material fragments.
It is part of a design practice that explores how value, form and meaning can emerge from what is usually considered waste.
Participants design and create small objects such as rings, pendants or earrings, working with precision, proportion and detail.
Each piece begins as a fragment and becomes a complete object shaped by attention and intention.
The process makes transformation visible and reflects a core idea: material is not reduced, but reconsidered.

carve your first spoon
Carving a spoon is one of the most direct ways to understand how form emerges from material.
This format introduces the fundamentals of working with wood through a simple object, shaped by hand, guided by grain, and defined by use.
In this session, the process becomes visible.
It is observed, documented and reflected in real time.
Participants move from raw material to finished object.
They learn how to work safely with carving tools, how to shape form, and how to refine a surface through touch and repetition.
Each spoon begins as a block of wood, yet becomes a unique object shaped by the decisions of the maker.
The outcome is not only a finished piece, but an understanding of how material responds to intention, and how small gestures define form.
