Our lecturers:
Yonit Cristal –
Traditional Crafts
Yonit describes her mission as being the link between traditional crafters, who carry the wisdom of the ages, and those aspiring to connect with the fountains of this ancient wisdom. Yonit decided to take it upon herself to learn and teach the crafts themselves not write or talk about them but pass on the actual practice itself.
Yonit will talk about her vision as a bearer of artful knowledge and she will further lead us in a workshop of traditional weaving in natural and local materials.

Dandan lived with Indians in Ecuador and made a research about herbal plants

Tal Bashsan –
Natural building
Tal comes from the fields of carpentry and design. From those she has moved on to study and teach the traditional art of building with natural materials. Tal builds with mud and dirt, assimilating into her work a colorful array of materials that others might consider junk, thus keeping them out of landfills and brightening up her creations.
Tal will tell us the stories of the earth – turning into mud and artfully solidifying into walls, stoves and benches.
The stories will follow us as we move on to experiment with traditional and contemporary mud building technics, the use of different pigments and local earth mixtures, creating large sculptors and small dishes.
