Brief: This project focuses on developing specialist wood lathe skills through the design and making of a wooden vessel.
The design of the dining experience through tableware reveals the connection between taste and the history of eating. Meals in the past were much harder to prepare than they are today. The simplicity of placing food in a microwave or storing it in a refrigerator is something we rarely question, yet these tasks were once complex. This reflects the evolution from carefully crafted vessels and delicately prepared meals to the modern, effortless dining experience. Preserving and preparing food demanded skill and patience, with the vessels themselves playing a vital role in the process.
